Some may be unaware of the differences between a bee and a wasp, and with an appearance that is near identical, it is easy to see why.
However, when we get down to it there are many differences between the two.
Let’s take a look at our chart below to learn more:
| DIFFERENCES | BEES VS. | WASP |
| Aggressiveness |
Bees are less aggressive. Most bees will die after one sting. |
Wasps are more aggressive by nature. They can sting multiple times and not die.
|
| Feeding Habits |
Bees are pollinators so they eat honey and beeswax. |
Wasps are predators so they prey upon other pest species.
|
| Appearance |
Bees are long and fat with 2 wings and bright colors. They have a hairy body and legs. |
Wasps are long and thin and have a smooth body and legs.
|
| Hives | Bees will create hives in a geometric wax hive. |
