Rustic Wasp Builds Nest in a Tree Instead of a Barbecue Cover

A Tree – “I’m kind of old-fashioned,” said Barry, a yellow jacket wasp. “I like to live off the grid and really be a part of nature.” It is estimated that 79% of wasps live in barbecues and 20% live in abandoned Honda Civics. Just 3% live in trees. “It’s kind of sad you know,” Barry said, “We have lost touch with who we are. I think that has a lot to do with why some wasps are so sad.” When asked if he felt his historic abode was adequate without modern technology, he assured me that he has never felt better. Then he stung me on the eyelid and climbed into my can of soda.
