    Only true for some varieties of figs. Most of the common fresh eating figs don’t use the wasp for pollination at all

        Huh, didn’t know that the fig fruit was also the flower.

        So does the wasp simply help the propigation of the fig tree when it poliniates or does it helps the fig fruit ripen?

        I know fig trees can also propgate via cutings too, so I’m wondering how essential wasps are to fig farms.

          Every fruit begins as a flower…

            The video said that the unripe friut is the flower. Unless I misunderstood something it sounds like there’s not a traditional blossom. And the wasp cralws into the fruit to polenate it.

              Yeah all the flowers are on the inside of a fig. That’s actually more or less the fruit you eat too, a bunch of sweet flowers compressed in a pod. Figs are super weird.

    Any wasp I see. It’s a fig wasp. Pearly guillotine. It’s a fig wasp. When the harvest’s clean. It’s a fig wasp. It’s a winged machine. It’s a fig wasp.

    Most figs you get in the store are not pollinated by fig wasps.
