That depends on which wasp you are talking about. Yellowjackets and hornets and paper and potter and mason wasps and are in the family Vespidae, digger wasps, mud daubers, and most solitary wasps are in the family Sphecidae, and the little chunky sand wasps you see on a Baseball field are in the family Crabronidae.
A wasp is in the genus Hymenopera, family Vespidae
Order: Hymenoptera Family: Ichneumonidae
Order: Hymenoptera Family: Vespidae
That's a little vague. Only the certain species have binomial nomenclature, not the term that refers to a family. Wasp is a general name for the superfamilies Vespoidea and Sphecoidea.
Bees typically live in a vespiary, which is a nest created by social wasps. Bees create hives, while wasps build vespiaries.
For sure, that's one of my family's recipe.

Yes - there are many types of wasps in California including: German yellowjacket, western yellowjacket, California yellowjacket, paper wasp, mud dauber, fig wasp, Western sand wasp, square headed wasp, bee wolf, Pacific burrowing wasp, gall wasp, soldier wasp, club horned wasp, burrowing wasp, blue mud wasp, cutworm wasp, thread-waisted wasp, mason wasp, potter wasp, and pollen wasp. Obviously this is not a complete list - just scratching the surface really - but it does demonstrate that California has plenty of wasps.
American, WASP, perhaps, although it's never mentioned on the series.
Latin for wasp is vespa. If you are looking for the taxonomy, it depends on the type of wasp -- and there are a lot of them. However, they are all in the order Hymenoptera. The social wasps are in the family Vespidae; ichneumon wasps are in the family Ichneumonidae; chalcid wasps are in the family Chalcidoidae... There are more.
This fits the description of the very rare, and very dangerous South African Swamp Dauber.
He was stung by a wasp.
