Yes. Wasps and bees have "jaws" called mandibles. They're sorta like the ones on beetles and such. They work side-to-side instead of up and down like jaws on people and other animals. And they can bite you with them. They usually sting people 'cause the "threat" they see in people ('cause they're so big relative to the insect) requires their "front line" weapon (their sting) and not just a bite. When wasps invade a bee hive or attack a bee colony (which they do once in a while), they use their mandibles to crush the bees who are trying to drive them off. The bees try to sting the wasps, 'cause the wasps are so much bigger than them, and "biting" them won't do any good. The wasps don't bother to "waste" stings on the bees but just crush them with their mandibles and toss them aside to press the attack. Use the links and look at the pictures and drawings.
