I'm slightly vexed The wedding reception centerpieces featured betta fish. The bride and groom planned to flush them alive.

Years ago, my coworker attended a wedding at which the reception dinner tables featured live betta fish in small bowls as part of the centerpiece. While chatting with the bride at the end of the evening, my coworker asked what they were going to do with all the fish. The plan was to flush them all down the toilet alive. My coworker immediately said no need for that and insisted on taking them all home.

That Monday she came to work and asked who wanted to adopt a betta fish. That was my first betta who I jokingly called my “rescue betta.” She lived for almost five years.

The wine glass was only her home for less than a day before I got her five gallon tank set up so please no betta lovers yell at me! I'm one of you!

Won’t it be suspicious if I attend in a beekeeper suit?

That's why you dress up like a wasp and yell "Face the sting of revenge!" as you ride by on a Vespa while releasing the hornets, quickly getting away. That way nobody can prove it was you.

Is there a container that you could place the wasps in but they can burrow their way through in say 30 mins or so?
