What are the most important differences between a bee and a wasp?
assistant
The most obvious difference between bees and wasps is size. Bees tend to be much smaller than wasps, ranging from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch in length. Bees also have a stinger on their abdomen that can sting multiple times, while wasps do not. Additionally, bees typically live in nests made of wax or mud, while wasps prefer to build nests out of paper, wood, or plant material.
