Bees and Wasps

  • The common bee or wasp is not generally
    considered dangerous if you are talking about the
    insect by itself its only when a hive or nest is
    present that they pose a danger to anyone that
    might accidentally disturb them.

  • Wasps have a small head, with medium sized eyes
    and medium length antennae. The body is slender,
    with a narrow waist. They have two pairs of
    brown-tinted wings, with the forewings larger.

  • The abdomen has some yellow bands on black. Adult
    wasps generally feed on nectar so they pollinate
    flowers as well. The ovipositors in most wasps
    are modified into stingers. They will sting if
    disturbed.

  • Wasp larvae are carnivorous. They feed on other
    insects and spiders. The adult female provide
    food for them by capturing prey or by laying the
    egg on or near the food source. Female wasps
    spend most of their time in finding food and
    making nest for their young.

7
  • Most wasp species are solitary, but some of them,
    such as the paper wasps, form colonies.

  • It is strongly recommended that if you have a
    wasp nest at your property that you dont try and
    get rid of it yourself. These insects can be
    unpredictable and in some extreme cases attacks
    have lead to death
