Bees typically live in a vespiary, which is a nest created by social wasps. Bees create hives, while wasps build vespiaries.
A vespiary, commonly known as a wasp nest, is primarily inhabited by social wasps, particularly species from the Vespidae family, such as yellow jackets and paper wasps. These nests are constructed from paper-like material made from chewed wood fibers mixed with saliva. Inside a vespiary, you will find a colony consisting of queens, workers, and larvae. Other creatures, like certain spiders and predatory insects, may also take advantage of the nest for shelter or as a food source.
