Could a wasp be bred/altered to not have a sting, or at best not have a sting that can penetrate human skin? It's akin to domestication, but we selectively breed wasps to not be such cunts.
As someone who works outside several days in an area with multiple species of wasps, including murder hornets, that would be fantastic. I've not been stung yet, but it's only a matter of time and I might be allergic (I'm allergic to bees, or at least used to be, but I only had light swelling from a paper wasp. Still, I'd rather not find out).
Speaking of, if we could make all my local snakes non-venomous, I would be delighted.
You're thinking of bees. Also iirc wasps used to be the only way to pollinate certain figs, and considering the popularity of figs through history, someone probably attempted this.
