Differences Between Bees and Wasps
Although bees and wasps are easy to confuse, they occupy pretty distinct roles in an ecosystem. Our highly trained exterminators know how to recognize the exact species present in your yard so they can resort to the best possible treatment option. Eco Serve offers some simple ways you can better tell the differences between these two insects:
- Bees have fuzzy bodies — Wasps have smooth bodies
- Bees are pollinators that feed on nectar — Wasps eat other insects, and scavenge meat.
- Bees help plants reproduce by spreading pollen — Wasps reduce the amount of caterpillars that feed on the foliage of forest trees and ornamentals.
- Bees can only sting once per insect because their stinger has barbs — Wasps can sting multiple times because they have a smooth stinger.
While both of these insects play important roles in our local ecosystems, they don’t need to nest right next to, or on, your house. If one of these species is too close for comfort, our stinging insect removal experts in Western New York are ready and equipped to provide solutions.
Common Wasps in Western New York
Here in Western New York, you’re most likely to encounter two groups of wasps: Paper Wasps and Yellowjackets. Both tend to build nests near our homes, are smooth-bodied, and black and yellow. But they also have some tell-tale distinguishing factors between them. Here’s how you can tell paper wasps apart from yellowjackets:
Paper Wasps
- Build open nests where you can always see the wasps and their larvae.
- They locate their nests under overhangs, such as eaves or soffits.
- Their nests hang from a single stalk.
- Paper wasps have orange antennae.
Yellowjackets
- Construct enclosed nests with a single hole.
- They have black antennae on their heads.
- Depending on the species, yellowjackets can have 300-150,000 individuals per nest.
Reducing Yellow Jacket Stings in Fall
As summer comes to an end and resources begin to dwindle, yellowjackets can become more aggressive, seeking out sweet and sugary things along with meat and other kinds of food. Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the chance of attracting and getting stung by yellowjackets come Autumn:
- Keep food covered when picnicking.
- Keep garbage bags and cans sealed so they can’t be accessed.
- Instead of swatting yellowjackets, flick them to get rid of them
- Stay calm and they’re less likely to sting you.
In general yellowjackets don’t go out of their way looking for a fight. Only if they feel like you are threatening them or their nests will they attack. That’s why making a commotion by trying to swat them increases the chances of them actually stinging you. Our wasp control will put a stop to these stinging insects for good.
