Wasps are more dangerous. Wasps are long and thin while bees are small and normal sized. Wasps don't die when they sting, bees do.

In addition: Although both species drink nectar from flowers, wasps could be said to be carnivorous, while bees are not. Bees feed their young with pollen collected from flowers while wasps feed their young on insect or spider prey.

Honey bees are beneficial because they spend most of the day pollinating your plants. Wasps don't spend much time pollinating, but some species do help by killing Spiders, which they encase with an egg which hatches and feeds on.

Honey bees are roundish, orange and black colored and bumbly in flight.

Wasps are thin, elongated with a narrow separation at the thorax.

Bees will generally leave you alone, wasps will attack out of the blue for no apparent reason.

Hope this helps!

Wasps only attack you if you are in their way.

A Bee will die after its 1st sting while a Wasp can keep on stinging.

The actual chemical makeup of the venom is very similar, but a wasp will usually inject more venom per sting than a honeybee. Also, when the honeybee stings, it kills the bee, whereas a wasp can sting repeatedly. A good emergency treatment is a solution of warm water and ammonia sponged thoroughly over the sting site, followed by Hydrocortisone ointment.

Yes. Wasps live in hives and do not make honey. Many "Bumble" bees are actually solitary and only a handful of bee species like the honey bee live in hives and make honey. A wasps venom is near neutral wheras a bee's is acid. A wasp sting can be used repeatedly wheras bee stings only have one use and they die as a result of stinging a human. These are only a few examples of how they differ.

A wasp nest is a construction of mostly celluslose fibres, made by wasps. A hive is a man-made construction for use in holding a bees nest.

Do bees look like wasps?

Bees and wasps do have a similar appearance. Bees are rounder, wasps are leaner. Wasps are covered in a smooth almost shiny exoskeleton. Bees on the other hand are covered in a layer of fuzz, this has to do with the feeding mechanism as wasps are predominantly carnivorous while bees feed on nectar.
