Answer:

Most people know that bees are pollinators; wasps also play an important role in pollinating crops and flowers.

Explanation:

A Comma splice is described as a grammatical error in which two independent sentences conveying complete senses are inappropriately joined using a comma(,). This creates a run-on sentence that leaves a misleading effect and confuses the reader.

In order to rectify this error, either the comma is substituted with a semicolon(;) that helps in separating the meanings of each clause independently or a coordinating conjunction is used to join two independent ideas and form a compound sentence. Another way to resolve this error is to separate both sentences using full stops. Since the given two sentences discuss a related thought i.e. about pollinators, it can be joined using a semicolon(;) as mentioned above.
