Wasps and bees are similar in size but here are some noticeable differences:
Wasps have distinct yellow and black stripes
Bees are a nondescript light brown/golden colour
Bees are covered in downy hair, which assists in pollen collection
Wasps are more streamlined in shape and appearance
Wasps have more distinct thorax and abdomen segments
Wasps have legs that hang down during flight
Why is it important to differentiate between wasps and bees?
Bees and wasps are treated differently. Bees are an important and beneficial species and rarely considered a pest. Most pest controllers won't consider treating bees unless they are a significant threat to public health and safety.
Three Counties Pest Control are closely associated with bee keepers who will endeavour to remove bees and relocate them into hives.
