It depends on how many stripes it has
No, not all bees have stripes, but many do. IN the United States over 3,500 species of bees exist and they have two sets of wings.
The black and yellow stripes that bees and wasps share are to warn other animals (including humans) that they are dangerous. That is why people get alarmed when they see any flying insect with black and yellow stripes. The hover fly for example has black and yellow stripes. People are scared of them, even though they are completely harmless.
A tiger has a long body, short neck and it's fir varies from orange-red to yellow. It also has many black stripes that are in different lengths. A male tiger can be about 6 feet long and they have very sharp teeth.
Bees have 4 stripes on their abdomen. The number of stripes can vary depending on the species of bee.
Yes, there are many bees with stripes that are not bumble bees. Honey bees for one have stripes, along with many other bees, wasps and bee and wasp mimics. Black and yellow and black and white stripes serve as an easily identifiable warning coloration that helps reduce predation on all the bees and wasps that wear them.
Most bees are yellow and black and have stripes. However, a bee that has two stripes is most likely a bumblebee.

Yes, I have noticed that bumble bees and yellow jackets DO compete for territory. I have had many yellow jackets infesting my home in upstate New York each season for 17 years. However, this last summer, I had a bumble bee family that moved into my front porch. I watched them each day as they literally chased away the yellow jackets whenever they came near. Yet the bumble bees never caused any harm to me or my family. Thank goodness for my "watch dogs", the bumble bees -- they are my guardians against those angry yellow jackets!
Just add the two numbers of stripes together... 22 + 18 = 40 !
