How To Identify A Bee Infestation

Appearance - Bees and wasps can be mistaken for one another, as both can sting. Wasps, however, are more aggressive while bees commonly only sting when provoked. Knowing the difference between a bee and a wasp is important for treating a sting, as well as taking care of the wasp or bee problem. Bees are usually black-bodied or sometimes have brown or orange or yellow striations. Bees are also hairy, while wasps usually have smooth and shiny skin. Another way to tell the difference is: a bee will have little or no “waist”, while a wasp can have a narrower “pinched” waist.
