Best Answer

People normally do not keep wasp hives. Bee hives are kept for two reasons: to produce honey for consumption or sale, and to help pollinate crops. Wasps do not produce honey or pollinate crops. Some scientists who study wasps, called entemologists, may keep captive wasp hives for observation and study.

Why does a wasp kill a fly?

Wasps, and many other stinging bees, are omnivorous. They kill the moths to eat them and/or feed them to young. I watched one attack a moth the other day, ripped its wings off while stinging the body.


What is the difference between dirt dobbers and and wasps?

Well, I reckon the main difference would be that the dirt dobbers are typically black and live in mud hives. Now when I cracked open their hives in my grannies basement inside were the skeletons of mostly spiders. The way I figure is they use their hives as storage facilities for food. A wasp on the other hand is usually yellow and black and of a fatter design than the dobber. Dobbers are typically skinnier. A wasp will live in a hive with several other wasps. The hive will mostly be used to store their larvae and not their food. Wasps are more aggressive and will sting you if you threaten them or their hive. I've never heard of anyone getting stung by a dobber. I've been around many and they seem pretty docile. So if you want to choose one as a neighbor, I'd go with the dirt dobber.

Yes, very closely. The only difference is that bees are herbivores (feeding on nectar and pollen) and wasps are carnivorous (storing insect flesh in their hives).


Is it necessary to get rid of a bee's nest if you can patch up the entrance after you rid the bees from the walls or can the honey still attract bees thourgh some other opening?

You should get rid of the nest because wasps will be atracted to the honey and if there are wasps they probably won't sting you as they are stealing and remove the nest at night as that is when wasps bees and other insects go back to their hives, but be careful.

How long will hives last?

Hives can disappear, but it will take a long time, during this time other wasps, bees and hornets will be attracted to them, so they will swarm and you can have a recurring problem. It is important to remove a hive from your property as soon as possible. The other problem with hives is that other rodents and insects are attracted to the honey as well, so you could end up with all sorts of infestations! http://www.beeremovalspecialist.com/
