HOW TO TELL BEES,
HORNETS AND
WASPS APART
People who spend
any measurable
amount of time
outdoors likely have
crossed paths with various
flying insects that cohabitate
in a typical yard.
Some of the most ardent
pollinators and pest control agents also have the potential
to be dangerous if provoked. While most bees, wasps and
hornets are content to go about their business, their stingers
can make these insects formidable foes, particularly to
those who are allergic.
According to The Best Bees Company, there are more
than 20,000 known species of bees and more than 100,000
known species of wasps worldwide. Those who don’t want
to get too up close and personal with stinging insects may
not know how to tell the different types apart. Bees, wasps
and hornets are distinguished by their behavior, waist and
body texture.
Bees
If it has a fuzzy body, it’s a bee. Bees tend to be non-aggressive
and may be carrying pollen on their backs. They
also live in wax hives. You’ll likely see bees flitting from
one flower to another in the warmer weather. Honeybees
will die after one sting, advises PBS, but bumblebees
and carpenter bees have smooth stingers that will not get
stuck, enabling them to sting again.
Wasps
Wasps are stinging insects which can be social or solitary.
Wasps have smooth, shiny bodies and narrow waists. They
can be bright black and yellow or black and white. Wasps
can sting repeatedly, says The Spruce, but they may not always
be aggressive; it depends on the species. Yellowjackets
are a type of wasp. They are sensitive to threats and
not afraid to use their stingers. Another way to distinguish
wasps from bees is that wasps hang their legs down while
flying and bees keep them tucked in.
Hornets
Hornets are wasps and tend to be social in nature. They
only construct paper nests and can be more aggressive
than other types of wasps. The Old Farmer’s Almanac says
hornets can be highly defensive with more painful stings,
and also may be larger and rounder in size than other
wasps. In the United States, the one true hornet species is
the European hornet, which nest in trees.
It’s impossible to avoid bees and wasps entirely, but individuals
can be mindful of where they are making their
nests. As these insects are important to the ecosystem, it’s
key not to exterminate them haphazardly. If a nest is problematic,
it’s best to have a professional come and relocate
or remove it safely.
