Serious question, are the wasps as likely to get diarrhea eating that as I think they are, and will the hive reject them at the entrance if they’re doing the insect equivalent of shitting their pants the way hives do with drunks?

I’m pretty sure [spicy chemical I can’t spell] is toxic to insects. I’d double check but I can’t spell it at the moment

Capsaicin?
I think “spicy” is referring to the wasps.

What is it with European bakeries and bees? I’ve seen memes and stuff about it, and this one youtuber, a Vietnamese woman who’s German BF never shows his face, I can’t remember her name right now. She showed a bakery in Germany with bees everywhere. Why is this a thing?

I’ll never understand why people call wasps bees. They are extremely different. It’s like calling deer horses. Why is this a thing?
dbtng@eviltoast.org 17 hours ago
Ya, that’s an odd odd thing. I know people that live around actual bees, watching the commercial hives swarm in the fields during pollination. They really know what bees are. And then when a wasp shows up, they are like “Fukin BEES!!!” and break out with a can of poison.

I think those are actually wasps. It’s particularly common in countries like Germany and Luxembourg where native wasps are protected species. As for Poland and other parts of Europe, it’s hard to keep them when you keep the doors propped open in lieu of central AC (and they’re attracted to the fresh sugar), and wasps and bees don’t transmit disease anyway, so people just get used to them

those are wasps, unfortunately,

Compared to (my impression of) north America I think there are some contributing factors:
- Less sprawl: Bakeries are usually in a town/neighborhood (which has more nature compared to the US, therefore also more insects) and not surrounded by a huge parking lot where no wasps would live. There are also many neigbouhring properties with different owners/occupants. So their nest might nor be on your property or even somewhere where you’d be able to locate it.
- (more) indipendent shops: I see waaaay less wasps in the baked good section in supermarkets here as well. Bakeries are usually not huge so it is just a short distance for the wasps to fly in a confinded space. Bakeries are also not usually airconditioned which would probably irritate wasps.
- conservation laws: Wasps are considerd a protected species in Germany and catching, harming or killing them without a proper reason can carry a fine of up to 5-65k€ depending on the kind of wasp and the state. In general wasp nests can only be moved by professional and licenced exterminators (and they only do it when necessary, like the nest being near a kindergarten or in an occupied builduing).

Wouldn’t traps near the food be a bigger concern than wasps taking a bite? Idk I live in Germany so I might be desensitized. The way I see it wasp-free pastry is preferable but if they decide to help themselves then oh well. They don’t soak the food in spit and they don’t lay eggs on it, they just nibble.

When eating outside we sometimes set up an “Opferteller” with left overs and put out to the side so the wasps have their thing going on that plate and we can continue to eat. It’s fascinating to watch but at the same time I’m scared shitless since I had a very bad experience with nest defending wasps and my long hair as a child…

rmuk@feddit.uk 16 hours ago
Can’t say I’d be delighted about this, but they’ll very quickly leave when the food’s disturbed and wasps - like bees - don’t leave behind diseases or eggs. The same cannot be said for flies - if those were flies I wouldn’t touch anything in the shop.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
My experience with wasps are different. They’ll fucking attack you it you’re anywhere near their food.

These are the wasps that I know and destroy.
vxx@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Africanised bees will be like that, but we don’t have them in europe as far as I know.
Wasps usually only get really stingy if you disturb their nest or come way too close to it.

But it’s not like we got aaaaaaall the weird.

Most of those things get baked out because of the high temperatures.

It’s nearly impossible to keep wasps and flies out of your store.
dbtng@eviltoast.org 13 hours ago
This is not true. We have stores with flies. I don’t go to those stores.
As for wasps, I understand there are legal restrictions here. Boy, that is pretty strange. For wasps. Wasps do just fine without our help.

I’m not personally familiar with these jokes, but the signage does appear to be Polish or some similar language. This may not have been the intent?
sprite0@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
the ‘joke’ is that they are spicy (jalapeno) because poles are stupid. unless there’s some interpretation that isn’t really shitty that i’m overlooking it’s a classic right wing ‘joke’.
Maalus@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
It is Polish. No idea why the dude even went there, it is a Polish bakery with wasps on the food. Not uncommon to see over here with some places that are outside or keep doors open.
