Merging with [Bee]
Strong disagree that this should be merged with Bee as the infoboxes (scientific names) are not the same. Although they served similar functions across the Animal Crossing series and wasp and bee stings are both colloquially called 'bee stings' (atleast in my region) they are not the same. To me, this feels like it's a clear choice Nintendo made. Bees have gotten a ton of good PR lately with their populations declining and folks realizing the positives they bring to ecosystems rather than focusing on the stinging (that also comes from Wasps!)
