What Is The Difference Between Honeybees, Wasps (yellow Jackets) And Bumblebees?

Answer 1

Honeybees make honey and live in waxy wooden enclosures and are raised by humans, Yellowjackets live in the ground and usuauly sting people that mow the lawn around their burrow, bumblebees and fat and black and usually dig into wood

Answer 2

You have good answer from "lisalau".

Honeybees:

Honeybees are domesticated or wild, wild ones are found in the nature jungles, natives harvest the honey and bring it to local open markets in India, Australia and Africa, or go house to hose and sell the honey. Beekeeper usually breed the bees in wooden boxes. They harvest the honey using special equipment. they also keep the bees by providing empty ready boxes with empty in hives in tact so they do not raid other hives.

Wasps or Yellow Jackets :

They are yellow and back in colour and eat meat and dead insects, they are more hostile if disturb. They do not produce any honey.

Hornet:

They build hives but are very hostile they do not produce any honey. They are thinner then yellow Jacket and slightly longer.

Bumblebees are discarded male, they are fat and black in colour they do sting if provoked.

Killer bees :

They are wild bees from Brazil South America, they are bigger then honey bee and do produce honey but they are lazy and vicious they raid hives and kill the bees and take over the honey and the hive, they are most feared bees, as such. It takes a long time for beekeeper to establish a hive and they can destroy them in few hours.

Answer 3

Bees are four-winged, flower-feeding insects. They have enlarged hind feet, branched or feathered body hairs, and generally a stinger. Honeybees and bumblebees are the most common. Bumblebees are larger and stronger than honeybees. Bees are beneficial insects because they produce honey and pollinate crops.

The honeybee is very popular. It has been adopted by at least sixteen states as the state insect.

Harder - Honeybees (or hive bees) are in the animalia kingdom, the arthropoda phylum, the insecta class, the hymenoptera order and the apoidea family. Beekeepers are sometimes called apiarists. Honeybees and bumblebees (apidae subfamily) are social bees and live in colonies. Solitary bees make their own small family nests.

There are 10,0000 - 20,000 species of bee including many wasplike and flylike bees. Most bees are small from 2 mm (.08 inches) long to 4 cm (1.6 inches) long. Bees and wasps are closely related. The main difference is that bees provide their young with pollen and honey, while wasps eat animal food, insects, or spiders. In addition, wasps have unbranched hairs.

Honeybees live in hives or colonies. A small hive contains about 20,000 bees, while some larger hives may have over 100,000 bees. Hives include one queen, hundreds of drones, and thousands of worker bees. The worker bees are female, but they do not breed. The queen bee is female and creates all the babies for the hive. The drone bees are male and do not have stingers.

Bees communicate with each other about food sources using dances. The sounds from the movement of the bees is picked up by the tiny hairs on the bee's head. Bees use the sun in navigation.

The honeybee's hive has cells made of wax. This is where the queen bee lays her eggs. She can lay 1500 eggs in one day. When the larvae hatch, they are fed by the worker bees. The workers collect pollen and nectar from flowers. The pollen is used as a protein source and the nectar is an energy source. Some of the pollen lands on the pistils of the flower and results in cross-pollination. This is important for some crops and flowers. The relationship between the plant and the insect is called symbiosis.

Bees turn the nectar into honey. Workers must visit over four thousand flowers to make just a tablespoon of honey. Beekeepers must be very careful when they remove honey from the hive. They try not to hurt the bees. The beekeepers give sugar syrup to the bees to replace the honey that they take.

The "killer bee" is actually a type of African honeybee. In 1957, it was accidentally released in Brazil during a science experiment. It began to move north and reached Mexico in the 1980s. It can now be found in the southwestern US. These bees react very quickly, attack in large numbers, and swarm for long periods of time.

Wasps are not bees

A wasp is any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is not a bee or an ant. Less familiar, the suborder Symphyta includes the sawflies and wood wasps, which differ from the Apocrita by having a broad connection between the thorax and abdomen. Also, Symphyta larvae are mostly herbivorous and "caterpillarlike", whereas those of Apocrita are largely predatory or "parasitic" (actually more technically known as parasitoid).

Most familiar wasps belong to the Aculeata, a division of the Apocrita, whose ovipositors are modified into a venomous stinger. Aculeata also contains ants and bees. In this sense, the insects called "velvet ants" (the family Mutillidae) are actually wasps.

A narrower meaning of the term wasp is any member of the Aculeate family Vespidae, which includes the yellowjackets (Vespula, Dolichovespula spp.) and hornets (Vespa spp.).





The following characteristics are present in most wasps:

Two pairs of wings (exceptions: all female Mutillidae, Bradynobaenidae, many male Agaonidae, many female Ichneumonidae, Braconidae, Tiphiidae, Scelionidae, Rhopalosomatidae, Eupelmidae, and various other families).
An ovipositor or stinger (only present in females because it derives from the ovipositor).
Few or no hairs (in contrast to bees); exceptions: Mutillidae, Bradynobaenidae, Scoliidae. Though less efficient than bees, some wasp species are significant pollinators.
Nearly all terrestrial; only a few specialized parasitic groups are aquatic.
Predators or parasitoids, mostly on other terrestrial insects; some species of Pompilidae, such as the tarantula hawk, specialize in using spiders as prey, and various parasitic wasps use spiders or other arachnids as hosts.
Wasps are critically important in natural biocontrol. Almost every pest insect species has a wasp species that is predator or parasite upon it. Parasitic wasps are also increasingly used in agricultural pest control.

In wasps, as in other Hymenoptera, sexes are significantly genetically different. Females have a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes and come about from fertilized eggs. Males, in contrast, have a haploid (n) number of chromosomes and develop from an unfertilised egg.

Wasp parasitism
With most species, adult parasitic wasps themselves do not take any nutrients from their prey, and, much like bees, butterflies, and moths, typically derive all of their nutrition from nectar (one species of braconid, Microplitis croceipes, has even been trained via nectar rewards to detect narcotics and explosives)[1]. Parasitic wasps are typically parasitoids, and extremely diverse in habits, many laying their eggs in inert stages of their host (egg or pupa), or sometimes paralyzing their prey by injecting it with venom through their ovipositor. They typically inject the host with eggs or deposit them upon the host externally; when the eggs hatch, the larvae eat the prey alive, saving the vital organs for last.
