A wasp works wonders for Smyrna figs

This undated photo shows fig fruits in New Paltz, N.Y. Depicted here are some of the many varieties of figs that do not have the specialized pollination needs of Smyrna figs, so can be grown over a much wider range, even in New York. From left, top row, are Celeste, San Piero and Brown Turkey. Bottom row, from left, are Bethlehem Black and Kadota. (Lee Reich via AP)
