The main differences between a wasp, bee, and hornet are in size, coloring, habitat, behavior and diet. Wasps are generally slimmer and have thinner waists, while bees are stockier and shorter. Wasps can be black and yellow or black and white, while bees are usually a golden or yellow color, or have black and yellow stripes. Hornets are usually larger than other wasps and bees and have a brown or gray color. Wasps live in nests, while bees live in colonies either underground or in a tree cavity. Wasps can be solitary or social, while bees are typically social. Wasps eat proteins while bees mainly consume nectar and pollen.
