The wasps are somewhat intresting but the flowers not so much.

Adobe Stock contains millions & millions of flowers, every shape, size, color & variety. Your chance of selling a flower image are about the same as your chance of winning the lottery. Find other subjects to photograph that will generate sales for you. 🙂

Good attitude. Getting images accepted, and being able to recognize the flaws in our images, is a learning process. My initial rejection rate when I started years ago was 30-35%. It's now less than 5%.

Not sure if this is the same version you submitted but they will reject anything that has a watermark or copyright on it and it seems like both images has that. Hope that helps!

Watermarks are “Non-Compliant Image” refusals.

1. flowers are not in sharp focus and parts of the image are underexposed.

2. depth of field was too shallow, causing too much of the insects to be out of focus.

For 2 I would to add this:

You can have a quite narrow DOF, if it helps the picture, but when doing so, you still need to get the right parts in focus. With portraits of humans and animals, you need to get the eyes in focus. In your image, you narrowly missed the eyes (arrows) and have other body parts in focus (clouds):
