    There are thousands of wasp species and the overwhelming majority don’t even have the ability to sting humans. You probably don’t ever even notice them, despite being the most important group of pollinators in the world, because you might mistake them for bees or flies. Also, bees are wasps (and so are ants).

      While Ants, Bees, Wasps and Hornets are all in the family Hymenoptera, it is incredibly wrong to suggest that Bees and Ants are Wasps.

      They are distinct species that are related to each other.

      Sincerely — a pest control technician who is incredibly tired of helping solve “bee” problems, when 99% of the time, they have a Wasp problem.
