The creatures that are called yellow jackets in North America are called wasps in Europe -- so they are really the same. Hornets are a large variety of wasp. There are something like 75,000 different varieties of wasp known throughout the world with widely differing appearances and styles of life.
Bees, though related to wasps, are a completely different species.
