Wasps! Wait--What?? Heather Holm on the Benefits of Wasps

Wasps usually get a bad rap, evoking memories of painful stings. But did you know that the vast majority of them don't bother humans, but instead serve an essential role as nature’s pest controllers. Wasps are carnivorous hunters, and their intended prey are insects–including the pests in your garden! In this episode, Lisa and Pam are joined by Heather Holm, renowned pollinator conservationist and award-winning author, who shines a light on these under-appreciated insects. Heather shares her in-depth knowledge of wasp diversity, nesting, and dietary behaviors, and reveals the fascinating stories of their crucial ecological contributions. Learn about specific plants that provide wasps with nectar, prey, and shelter, and discover gardening practices that support these vital members of the pollinator habitat.
