whats the difference between wasps and bees?

Question

i always thought wasps and bees were from the same species but somebody told me that they were not so are they or arent they from the same species?

Answer 1

Wasps die in the winter, but they can use their stinger throughout their lives.
Bees die when they use their stingers, but they live through the winter
............................................................................................
Wasps are thinner, can be aggressive, and interested in food and garbage. Bees are generally plumper, mild mannered and interested in flowers, not your lunch or garbage can. School personnel need to be able to distinguish wasps from bees and need to be aware of the preferred nesting locations of different species of wasp. The chief pollinators of our food crops are domestic honeybees which have been hard hit in recent years by a combination of parasitic mites, disease, starvation caused by severe weather, and pesticide poisoning. Anyone attempting to control wasps with insecticides must make certain that bees will not contact the poisons

Answer 2

There are many species of both bees and wasps. Bees are of the superfamily apoidea, while wasps are any insect in the order hymenoptera and suborder apocrita that is not a bee or an ant. The differences between bees and wasps include honey production (some bees make honey, but no wasps do), nest type (wasps generally make paper or mud nests, while bees make wax nests) and stinging ability (bees release their stinger when they sting and die afterwards, kind of a suicide attack, while wasps can sting over and over again).

Answer 3

they are not from the same species, Bees are very usefull insects gathering the pollen from flowers to make honey. Wasps are nasty insects and when they sting they often leave their sting behind and you can get that shock syndrome if you are unlucky enough to get one sting you down the back of the throat, They are a pest when you are trying to have a drink and fly round you. They do hibernate often in dry earth banks and make fine paper nests by their spittle.

Answer 4

wasps are worse that bees. wass have two pairs of wings very few or no hair with sme exceptions. Bees have hair and make honey. Both bees and wasps are pollinaters.

Answer 5

Bees make hives and honey, they live in large communities. They live from the pollen they collect from flowers, vegetarians.

Wasps live in smaller communities and build nests. They are kill and eat insects. They are carnivores. Their stings are worse than most bee stings, and, with the exception of Africanized Honey Bees, they are much more easily provoked.

(2) Different Species:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp
A wasp is any insect of the order Hymenoptera and "suborder Apocrita", that is not a bee or an ant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee
Bees (lineage within the superfamily Apoidea) are flying insects, closely related to wasps and ants.

Answer 7

Bees have a function and wont sting for no reason as it will kill them. Wasps are annoying, vile pests and deserve to die!

Answer 8

Wasps are thinner, and eat garbage and other insects. Bees are generally plumper, less aggressive, and their main food source is flowers.

Bees are less aggressive, but overall wasps are more beneficial to humans because of their scavenging garbage and controlling the insect population through their aggression.

Answer 9

Wasps have a B Team, but bees don't have a wasp team.

Answer 10

bees need polen for their food supplies as where wasps eat meat(caterpillars, small insects) Wasps make honey combs in their nests but do not produce honey only bees do
