Abstract
The German proverb, which implies that God made the bees and the devil made the wasps, accurately reflects the relative attitudes of people towards bees and wasps. While most of us who think otherwise laugh it off, Seirian Sumner, the author of Endless Forms, has taken it personally and made it her life’s mission to set the record straight. The happy result is a lifetime of research and a book that put wasps and wasp researchers in her debt.
