The Biggest Difference Between Wasps & Bees

The common factor among the thousands of species of bees in existence is that they all use pollen as a source of protein. Wasps, on the other hand, use meat.

Sees a bee hive* "oh I should probably get rid of that"
Sees a wasp nest* packs things and moves out of house*
Sees a hornets nest* proceeds to poor gasoline all over house and burns the whole thing down*

Me when I see a bee: Hey bro you doing a great job, keep up the great work.

Me when I see a wasp: Well time to pack my bags

Me when I see a hornet: *Buys a minigun and sprays all over the place*

This is the difference

Bees are nice and are only trying to do their job, they don't go out of their way to mess you up.
Wasps are assholes, they don't care how far away you are from them, they'll mess you up and follow you into your home.

Common misconception - Bees are cool, wasps are not.

Correction - Bees are fairly cool, but an over-reliance of a single type of bee has resulted in a system of agriculture that could collapse if that bee ever goes extinct.

Wasps might be annoying, but they are also natural pesticides. They are hunters of caterpillars, locusts/grasshoppers, aphids, weevils; anything and everything that will eat plants, which coincidentally love munching on crops.

If we could build a system that can efficiently use wasps to help deal with pests, we could potentially solve our pesticide problem.

And the ants are there in the corner, the weird cousin.

When a bee gets in the car "Oh hey little guy let me help you out" When a wasp gets in the car " JESUS <Here are some helpful tips how to handle the stressful situation>
Step1: Pull Over (in traffic if need be) Step2: Pour gasoline over your car. Step 3: Light that car on fire and explain to your insurance company that this was a life or death situation.

Don't confuse a wasps with yellow jackets which are aggressive, nasty painful insects. The paper wasps where I live are fairly benign and will only sting if strongly provoked. Leave them alone, they are beneficial insects because they kill other harmful garden insects.

Bees hurt like a mother fucker but only one time....

Wasps hurt like a mother fucker many times.

[og]

This video: wasps can sting multiple times


Me: *slams hand on table* TWENTY-EIGHT STAB WOUNDS

[Jcantrell]

Is it just me or when I see a wasp fly and there little legs are hanging, it's just really freaky.

[InevitableTruth]

Bee: ayy lmao
Wasp: swigitty swoogity, Ima sting yo booty

[cbaha]

This video makes me wish all bees invaded wasp nests and eradicated them

[desfox]

How I've always identified Wasps and Bees:

Bees: Black and yellow, fuzzy, smaller, not as intimidating

Wasps: larger, not fuzzy, brown, red, black, etc, thinner connecting point of abdomen, black wings, legs hang down in flight, very intimidating
(pretty much the one seen here)

Even though some people say it's useless, it's still a beautiful creature

[RANDOMBOI-jugw]

A bee is a stingy boi
A wasp is a c*nt with wings

[tonikelm]

I had a freckan wasp the size of your pointer finger in my room and it landed in the corner of my window and murdered it with a broom That was 3 years ago and it is still there.... 🤐

[mikenorman]

There's not a bee on your back right now?

[luisf.]

So bees are helpful and wasps are useless...
