There is a major difference between bees and wasps that people need to distinguish and know because they aren’t the same. One of the major differences is that bees feed their larvae pollen but on the other hand wasps nourish theirs with an insect which is why wasps are actually great to have around the garden but they can be a threat to you in no time because of their big huge nests.
The presence of a wasps’ nest often results in property owners taking matters into their own hands and trying to get rid of a wasp nest on their own. However, it’s highly advised that you simply don’t plan to remove a wasp nest without professional help.
