Learn MoreDIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEES & WASPS
Both bees and wasps can be very beneficial to humans and our environment. While bees are well-known for their pollination, wasps are predatory insects that help control pests that can infest crops, gardens, and landscape plants. But what really makes them different?
TYPES OF BEES
When it comes to bee populations in the Phoenix area, there are actually many different species, including some that you may not be aware of. Bees are pollinators, covered with tiny hairs that collect pollen and play a vital role in pollination. In addition to these main bee species, you can also find long-horned, mining, squash, sweat, leafcutter, mason, cuckoo, and yellow-faced bees in the Phoenix area.
BUMBLE BEE
These are extremely hairy bees that can be up to an inch long and tend to live below boards or underground. They are black with yellow, orange, or white bands.
HONEYBEES
Honeybees can grow up to ¾ inch and have brownish-gold hair. These are the bees responsible for most of the pollination. While European honeybees do not usually pose much of a threat, here in the Phoenix area, most honeybee colonies are mixed with Africanized honeybees and can become highly aggressive when protecting their hive.
CARPENTER BEES
Often confused with bumblebees, carpenter bees have large jaws that allow them to chew wood. While they aren’t usually aggressive, they can cause damage to your home or business.
TYPES OF WASPS
While wasps may unintentionally pollinate, they are meat and sweet scavengers that collect food to return the nest and feed other colony members. This means they can play a beneficial role in pest control, as they hunt other insects. There are two main wasp species in our area.
WESTERN YELLOWJACKETS
These are black and yellow striped wasps that are social and typically ground-nesting, often nesting in rodent burrows, and wall voids, though they can be found in attics.
PAPER WASPS
The three most common paper wasps in our area are the yellow paper wasp, Navajo paper wasp, and Arizona paper wasp. These wasp nests are typically found on roof overhangs and ceilings.
