Whats the difference between a wasp and a bee?

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
