What They Look Like
What They Do
Bees are mostly busy making honey in their hives all day long. They work together to collect food and take care of their family. Wasps don’t make honey, they’re more like the wild cousins who sometimes chase you if they feel annoyed. While bees usually stay calm, wasps might sting you if they think you're a threat.
Where They Live
Bees live in hives, often inside trees or in boxes we put for them to live in. Wasps live in paper-like nests that hang from trees or buildings, like a big home made of crumpled paper.
Examples
- Bees live in hives with many family members, while wasps often live alone or in smaller groups.
