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.
pest toast, please ignore
That … that worked.
Ostry posmak 😂
If white people can’t handle heat then explain this spicy polish pastry
the easy explanation is that Polish people aren’t counted as white by white people

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.
My experience with wasps are different. They’ll fucking attack you it you’re anywhere near their food.
Africanised bees will be like that, but we don’t really 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.
You’ll find wasps in almost any bakery in summer. Also in and around garbage cans.
You grab the pastry and they will usually fly away and settle onto the next one a bit later.
These are the wasps that I know and destroy.
Yes. A measured response.
Measured in kilotons
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?
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).
I’ll never understand why people call wasps “bees”. They are extremely different. It’s like calling deer “horses”. Why is this a thing?
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 out 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,

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…
I do the same thing and then I just move slowly as not to squish or slap them accidentaly. Works much better than shooing them 😄 Wasps have a bad reputation but they’re useful and kinda cool honestly.
Where I live, it is considered a community service to kill wasps. Seriously. Gotta die.
It’s straight up illegal here 😅
Fascinating. Its not that I have some obsession with killing wasps, but its something I do immediately. When I see nests, I eliminate them. I will tell the property owner, “You’re welcome.”
You’re mad. Out of your mind. That’s not uncommon on the internet. There are many of us.
I’m wondering the same thing.
Ya know, I have to hang my head with a lot of the “Really, America?” shit. Yes, my home is a bit weird.
But it’s not like we got aaaaaaall the weird.
It is fukin bizzare to let insects crawl on your food and then desire or use said food in any way other than feeding pigs.Don’t watch videos of raw food material transportation like grain or sugar.
A bit of shit on our food gives us some needed trace elements.
Most of those things get baked out because of the high temperatures.
These ones after baking, not so much.
I prefer desease free wasp food over pigeon and rat shit in my cooked food.
I guess in the end I eat both. I try to buy locally whenever possible, but I guess sugar is hard to source locally.
Cooking is good. I wash my vegetables. And my meat for that matter, although that’s strangely not recommended.
Enjoy!
It’s nearly impossible to keep wasps and flies out of your store.
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.Tell me your secret on how to get these things out of a building, it’s already freaking hard in a house where the door doesn’t open every 5 minutes.
Flies or wasps are also a completely different thing. The worst/only thing that can happen with wasps is that one doesn’t move away when you take a bite and stings you.
Edit: yes I know mosquito nets etc will help against flies, but that generally doesn’t help in a store (depending on the type of door even impossible). Plus once they open insects like to get in with the people at the same time and even if nothing opens they tend to find a way in a lot of buildings.
Well, that’s the nice thing about civilization. We get to divide up labor into specialties. I don’t own a bakery, so I don’t have the secret you’ve inquired about. I get to choose which places I shop, and I make sure its places without bugs. If I have a secret at all, its the power of the purse.
You wouldn’t eat something that grew in nature?
:]
Extra spicy
Crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside
Spicy upfront
No no, I’m pretty sure that’s a Bienenstich.
