Bees and Wasps
Identification
Bees and wasps are both black and yellow. Wasps have cylindrical bodies with a narrow waist connecting the thorax to the abdomen and slender legs. They are sleeker and more streamlined for hunting. Bees usually retract their legs so they are not visible in flight, whereas wasps do not.
