Learn More About Local Bees and Wasps

Honey Bee: Apis Mellifera

• Appearance: Up to 5/8 inch long; reddish-brown and black with paler, orange-yellow rings on abdomen; two pairs of wings
• Habits: Very social; hive in hollow trees and in hives kept by beekeepers; pollinate crops and produce honey
• Diet: Adults drink nectar and eat honey
• Reproduction: The queen lays eggs at intervals, producing colonies of 60,000 to 80,000 members; the lifespan is usually two to three years for the queen; drones die after mating
• Other Information: Workers have a stinger that is used when the colony is threatened; members of the hive pass food to one another mixed with saliva to form a chemical bond
  

Carpenter Bee: Genus Xylocopa

• Appearance: Large, about one inch, resemble bumble-bees; some species may have a blue-black, green, or purple metallic sheen; no hair on the abdomen
• Habits: Often burrow into the exposed, unfinished dry wood of buildings, telephone poles, fence posts, and bridges; prefer softer woods for nesting; not social insects, although individuals may establish burrows close to each other
• Diet: Pollen and nectar
• Reproduction: Complete one generation per year in most of the U.S.; mature from egg to adult in from 84 to 99 days; female furnishes nest with "bee bread," a mixture of pollen and regurgitated nectar, and lays an egg on top of it
• Other Information: Damage to wood from a pair of bees is slight, but a larger number can, over a period of time, cause considerable damage; do not sting; make loud buzzing noises when flying
  

Wasps: Order Hymenoptera

• Appearance: Variety of shapes and colors; can be distinguished from bees by their smooth, rather than hairy, bodies; 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch long
• Habits: Exhibit predatory and scavenging behavior; some species are solitary, while others live in colonies that may number thousands of individuals
• Diet: Primarily protein such as spiders, soft-bodied insects, and small animals
• Reproduction: Social wasps begin a nest with one queen laying all eggs for the colony; if a queen dies, a worker can take over the egg-laying function until the colony produces a new queen
• Other Information: Very protective of their nests; will defend against invaders with painful stings
  

Bee: Order Hymenoptera

• Appearance: Most species of concern to man have yellow and black coloring; seven-sixteenths to five-eighths inch long; appear to have hairy bodies
• Habits: Live in colonies of 20,000 to 80,000 individuals; will leave humans alone if not provoked
• Diet: Nectar and pollen
• Reproduction: Only one egg-laying queen in a hive; the queen may live as long as five years and lay as many as 1,500 to 2,000 eggs per day; worker females protect eggs and the young; drones' only duty is to mate with the queen, after which they die
• Other Information: Stings can be painful, but are harmless to most people; however, dangerous allergic reactions can occur
