Bees produce honey and are beneficial to humans, while wasps seem useless

Bees produce honey and are beneficial to humans, while wasps seem useless. Dr. Vladimir Spirin from the Saratov Medical Center of Rospotrebnadzor explained the differences. Bees have rounder, hairier bodies but are often confused with wasps due to their yellow-black coloring. Wasps are more aggressive and can sting multiple times, unlike bees.

Bees are herbivorous insects collecting nectar and pollen and are generally non-aggressive, attacking only to defend the hive or during swarming. After stinging, a bee dies. Wasps are predators and scavengers, feeding on insects, meat, and fruit, often entering homes. They do not die after stinging and can sting repeatedly.
