The wasp would totally destroy a bee one on one. Wasps are carnivorous hunters, bees are social insects.
If a wasp got too close to a bee hive, it would get mobbed by every drone in the hive though.

Well once I saw in animaux channel (animal channel for tv) there was a large wasp entering honey bee's nest, at first they look peaceful and calm but as the wasp get to the inner section of the nest and surrounded by thousand of honey bees, all the bees stick to it it and start stinging it, the wasp do fight back and kill like 5 or 6 bees, but after a while it finally died, Its a whole colonies of bees that sting it, ofcourse it will lose.
But I dont know what will happen if the largest bee and wasp meet each other, the indonesian resin bees and the japanese giant wasp. It will be cool to see those two fight one on one.

Unfortunately the bee would lose it's sting after the first strike, while the wasp can sting as often as it wishes. Therefore the wasp would probably win in a fight. I guess in nature the bee and wasp avoid each other although it is possibe that a wasp may try to raid a wild bee hive in order to get at the honey. Such a lone wasp would undoubtedly be killed.
There's a war going on right there in your own garden.
Have already seen a couple of bumble bees in my garden this year. January/February is too early they will probably die if we get a cold snap, the poor darlings.

A bee will not naturally attack a wasp.
Bees and wasps have different instinctual natures which generally oppose each other. For instance, bees are attracted to natural herbiviorous pollens. Wasps on the other hand seek carnivorous insect based larvae. If a wasp was "peckish" it would only be interested in the bees egg sacks. Bees however congregate around the Queen bee and the wasp would be unable to succeed. This being the case bees and wasps will not combat - call it a natural phenomenon. One could draw a similar conclusion to another natural stand off being echinda's and wombats...

Wasps are known to attack invade bee hives and kill the bee's to . But i also heard that some bee hives fight back and end up killing the wasps. But i think wasps would win

Depends on how hard the wasp thinks it is!!
I'd say wasp, They can repeatedly sting. However I think bees attack on mass so I'd say give the wasp a baseball bat to even things out

a wasp will always win against a bee, it can repeatedly sting the bee, where as the bee can sting the wasp once only

I guess it depends on the species, but I think more in terms of the wasp winning.
