A bee is bigger definitely and stings only once before it dies so its a bigger sting. A wasp is smaller but can keep stinging without dying.

The wasps I've seen are considerably larger than a honey bee. Some bumblebees are quite large though, and by weight I'll bet they're heavier than a wasp. Having been stung by both wasps and bees, I find the wasp sting more painful.

Wasps are bigger than a regular honey bee. And they can sting multiple times whereas a bee can sting only once.
Bumble bees are bigger than wasps and can sting multiple times (this is because they do not have the barbed stingers like the honey bee).
Never get stung by a wasp - they are mean suckers and will continue to try to attack you.

Bees are generally bigger than wasps since wasps are faster.
However, Wasps can be bigger when the Queen is involved.
P.S: Hornets are bigger than both of them!!!
