Bee Hives Vs Wasp Nests
WouterIdentifying the difference between a bee hive and a wasp nest can help you to keep these insects out of your home. The main difference is the presence of a waxy substance. You can also tell the difference by looking at the mass of the insects.
A bee hive is a place that a queen bee builds to raise her offspring. It can be found in a basement, attic, or roof. During the winter months, a queen bee hibernates in a tree or the house roof. During the summer, she is active and begins to lay eggs. She also protects the hive from predators.
Usually, a bee hive is a large place, with tens of thousands of individuals. The number can be much higher. The hive is typically found around flowers. The bees are generally rounder in appearance, with a furry coating.
If you are allergic to bee stings, you can become very sick. However, bees are usually not aggressive, so you don’t have to worry about getting stung. If you do get stung, it can heal on its own. If you are not allergic to bee stings, a wasp sting can be painful and harmful to you.
Wasps come in a variety of different types. Some are solitary, while others live in colonies. The nests vary in size and design. Some social wasp species have nests that are built in rodent burrows or hollow spaces. Others have nests that are built on the ground or in sheltered areas.
