Maybe, on this beautiful day, while visiting Gold Park's pollinator garden, you will come across a wasp ... did you know wasps are pollinators? According to the USDA Forest Service website, "Wasps are very important polllinators." (https://www.fs.usda.gov/wildflowers/pollinators/animals/wasps.shtml) So while giving them a wide berth, you might also give them a friendly wave!
