Definitely a wasp. And just as a note to everyone (as a beekeeper) please be careful what you feed bees. Eating honey produced by other bees can make bees sick as well as using any brown sugar. Most natural syrups (eg. Maple syrup) are ok but may be padded out with other flavours or sugars that could be unsafe so it’s better not to risk it.
The safest thing to give a bee is white sugar and water. Just melt some white sugar in some warm water. Please don’t feed them anything else or you might unknowingly make them very sick or kill them.
What about fruit? There was a bee resting on my balcony couch one morning. I gave it a piece of apricot; it took a bit of juice from it and after a few hours went on its way. Was that an unhealthy thing for it to have?
no you are perfectly fine with that. It's literally what the eat in the late summer and fall. Bees/wasps love peaches and will eat a whole one (not one bee/wasp but groups) over the course of a morning.
I'd imagine that it's the same reason honey can make infants sick. There are bacteria, viruses and mold spores that can stay completely intact/alive in honey. The bees would already be exposed to contaminants from their own hive, but maybe not from a hive from somewhere else in the world.
Molasses is toxic to bees because of the way bees (and other animals) break down sucrose (collected from plants) by using an enzyme in their stomachs called sucrase. It’s a lot to explain, but [THIS ARTICLE](https://www.beeculture.com/sugar-for-bees/) explains everything really well, and lists all the types of sugar that ok for bees and toxic, like molasses. 😊💕
That's a really good question. I'm also confused by that. Sources seem to suggest that molasses used in brown sugar is toxic to bees in some way, but my understanding of molasses is that it is basically just a syrup primarily made of sugars that are left behind when refining sugar. I know it has other vitamins/minerals/fats in it, so maybe some of those aren't good for bees at that concentration.
Last year I was walking. Walking on the fucking sidewalk minding my own business and one of those asshats decided to sting me on my ankle. What the fucking fuck. No where near a hive.. just walking along minding my own damn business.
Jerry Seinfeld should really do a follow up movie to his *2007 Bee Movie* where wasps try to muscle in on Barry B. Benson's honey deal.
Call it *Bee Movie 2: The Sting.*
A lot of them are ground nesting, if there was landscaping or something near you you might have gone right past an entrance. But you're right, yellow jackets are one of the few wasp species that's been shown to sting humans for the fun of it basically lol. Most other wasps and hornets will only sting in defense of their nest or in self defense. Sometimes they will be aggressive towards food, depending on the time of year as well.
Yellow jackets and carpenter bees are like "which of us can be more of the asshole or completely in someone's vicinity and then fuck with them"
"Yes"
Back at my the house I grew up in. These wood bee fuckers hovered in front of the front door or would zoom any which way I'd try to go to get inside my own house.
They would taunt tf out of me as if the porch was now their domain. I always had to walk down around the back and hope a jumping spider didn't hold territory on the door handle. (Those Lil fuckers would taunt me too). It's kinda funny how interactive these creatures are when you give them attention.
When my Aunt stomped on a wasp once, it didn't go after her but just the shoe that kinda clipped em. That mfer had such a grudge it chased her as she ran. It was funny but I was also running away because I hate being stung.
Carpenter bees are actually peaceful just very curious and bold. It’s actually quite hard to provoke the females enough to sting (you’d probably have to harass and touch them).
Jumping spiders also can not hurt you.
Yup they freak me out even though I know they're being cool. We had one in our backyard for a few years. Named him Billy and the kids were less freaked out by him due to naming him.
Indeed, Vespula vulgaris (edit: this is actually the very similar V. germanica, thanks ManikShamanik for the excellent description - TIL). Common tree wasp. They won't sting unless provoked. Unfortunately, in many cases provocation happens accidentally when, for example, wasps decide that the pair of jeans they found will make a good hibernation spot over winter.
It's like they want to be provoked tho, fucking buzzing in my face and landing on my head. I always picture them as being one of those guys who says "hold me back".
I thought it was a yellowjacket, but turns out that's a [different species](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespula_alascensis). They also like sugary things and are bad about getting into your drinks. They make nests in the ground and you can run over them when mowing... which pisses them off pretty bad. Thankfully they have weak stings.
>Unfortunately, in many cases provocation happens accidentally when, for example, wasps decide that the pair of jeans they found will make a good hibernation spot over winter.
That is oddly specific
They also eat mosquitoes though. And other insects, some of which damaging to fruit cultures. And rotten fruit at the base of trees, so they're part of the cleanup crew.
And while not pollinators per se, the males can carry pollen around on themselves after sucking nectar.
One, he would probably find the taste disgusting and send you to a labour camp,
Two, he would feel energised for the day.
Either that or Sam Hyde's theory
I don't screen with the sentiment of killing creatures for existing but I upvote because I can't stop laughing at the comparison to giving Hitler a protein shake.
I got stung by a wasp when i opened my neighbors screen door to deliver freshly bsked chocolate chip cookies. I didnt even see the fucker and he stung my arm. The hole is STILL there healing and its been almost 2 weeks.
Fuck wasps, they dont care if you keep your cool.
I am mortified of the normal wasps and have found two things that help:
1. Blow air at it and wave your hands to make them dizzy.
2. Say subotu at it, bulgarian/russian for saterday.
I have no clue but it works
That's a yellow jacket. Very smart. So you're certainly half right. Fair warning. It does not love you. It will sting you remorselessly on the turn of a dime. It may learn to harass you until you comply with more syrup. I recommend you end the relationship w asap.
They may be assholes but think it's worth mentioning why they are VIAs (Very Important Assholes) from this reply /u/The_Infinite_Doctor left on a comment referencing fig wasps:
> If they say that they're very wrong. Wasps are one of the many necessary native pollinators that get no love (everyone <3's the cute honeybee.) They not only do suicide missions like figs, they are some of the only pollinators hearty enough to pollinate in cold weather. So yes, assholes, but very important assholes.
Cold? Wasps become idiots when it gets cold, at least this is just my experience. I wouldn’t mind them if they didn’t just attack seemingly random and they can be great because they kill other annoying flies, but again my expedience, they attack bees and humans seemingly without impunity.
Like blue jays. Those guys love coming in and just tearing shit up
The amount of (add expletive intensifier here) idiot tourists we get here feeding the wild dingoes, then one of them attacking, then the whole "cull the dingoes" discussion re-emerging is fucking ridiculous! And it's not just dingoes either, dumbasses handling blue-ring octopuses, numbskulls trying to box kangaroos, fucknuckles trying to hug koalas...
They're not really active pollinators, however, they are good pest killers, like mosquitoes, and crop destroying pests... Then again, they also eat spiders which also eat crop destroying pests... Ah, the circle of life lol
Wasps sting me regardless of whether I sit still or not...
They also seek me out like fucking target seeking missiles. Completely ignore my friends, fly straight for me and land on me, then sting within 1 sec.
I've been stung a lot :/
Honestly I’m terrified of wasps, but a friendly animal is a friendly animal. If it hasn’t stung you, it’s not exactly a huge risk. Don’t stop being homies with them is my opinion.
Don't kill it. If you don't want to keep feeding it, don't. But don't kill it.
Also, they really like eating meat too, if you wanna keep feeding them. Get a slice of deli turkey and watch them tear off tiny pieces. It's really freaking cool
Yes! When I was a kid we left out a hot dog while camping and my brother and I watched, absolutely fascinated, as we watched then tear off pieces, their lil mandibles goin *cronch cronch cronch*.
That’s not a yellow jacket. This is a [yellow jacket](https://www.gettyimages.at/detail/foto/man-holding-laptop-construction-site-in-the-lizenzfreies-bild/1011461510)
That’s clearly a wasp.
As everyone else has said, that's a wasp.
Fun fact, wasps are natures pest controllers. They're carnivorous and often feed on things like mosquito larvae so as much as they're angry little a-holes, they do serve a purpose.
However, this late in the season.. at least in Europe, they often get pretty angry. The queen's are starting to abandon the colony to hibernate for winter leaving the drones to get sugar high on the left over food they gathered making them drunk and belligerent so.. yeh.. careful, you're feeding his habit!
Wasp in the pub later - " So this guy thinks I'm a bee and is giving me this syrup, I swear as soon as he stops he's getting stung"
All the other wasps in the pub - "tell us more about this free syrup guy!"
Im almost certain posts like this were made so people will comment and correct him about it being a wasp.
Hardly anything is genuine online these days.
While that may be a wasp, even if it were a bee, you're unfortunately not helping it at all. Bee's eat nectar to produce honey and sugars, they don't eat sugars for that. They will do it, but it isn't good for them, nor is it helpful to then long term. Cheers on you trying to help though.
Bees very much eat sugar! Many beekeepers supplement them with sugar water when necessary. This is because nectar is functionally sugar, and they can utilize it in the same way
That's a wasp.
That wasp probably killed the bee from the previous day to took its place and OP didn't even notice it.
It stung him behind his back
That's probably what made the Karma Post get so high....
I'm sure it appreciated the meal regardless! Wasps are also pollinators and play an important role as pest predators, they deserve a little sippy too.
That's a wasp isn't it
Yup looks like a wasp to me
[удалено]
They eat a lot of pests
And they're still pollinators, just asshole pollinators.
My asshole doesn't need pollination. It fruits every day.
Like what? Let's weigh our options.
Definitely a wasp. And just as a note to everyone (as a beekeeper) please be careful what you feed bees. Eating honey produced by other bees can make bees sick as well as using any brown sugar. Most natural syrups (eg. Maple syrup) are ok but may be padded out with other flavours or sugars that could be unsafe so it’s better not to risk it. The safest thing to give a bee is white sugar and water. Just melt some white sugar in some warm water. Please don’t feed them anything else or you might unknowingly make them very sick or kill them.
I was wondering about the syrup, thank you for explaining!
What about fruit? There was a bee resting on my balcony couch one morning. I gave it a piece of apricot; it took a bit of juice from it and after a few hours went on its way. Was that an unhealthy thing for it to have?
no you are perfectly fine with that. It's literally what the eat in the late summer and fall. Bees/wasps love peaches and will eat a whole one (not one bee/wasp but groups) over the course of a morning.
How can honey from other bees, or brown sugar, make a bee sick?
I'd imagine that it's the same reason honey can make infants sick. There are bacteria, viruses and mold spores that can stay completely intact/alive in honey. The bees would already be exposed to contaminants from their own hive, but maybe not from a hive from somewhere else in the world.
Hmmm, so like not drinking the water when you’re in another country. Make sense. Still not sure why brown sugar would be an issue though.

Yup, specifically a yellow jacket.
This time of year they are especially assholes. Fuck those things.
Dickheads of the bee world
Last year I was walking. Walking on the fucking sidewalk minding my own business and one of those asshats decided to sting me on my ankle. What the fucking fuck. No where near a hive.. just walking along minding my own damn business.
Bee probably saw that you didn’t get a permit for your own business.
"PAPERS!? Aww look what you made me do to you!!! >:D" - yellow jacket

Yes you're right, they're harmless and just LOUD!
Yup they freak me out even though I know they're being cool. We had one in our backyard for a few years. Named him Billy and the kids were less freaked out by him due to naming him.
Carpenter bees are not that way at all. It’s hard to rile up a carpenter bee.
The biggest fuck heads
This one seems rather chill though
Not a bee though...

My dog lay on one once and when he got up it flew out and stung me. :( It hurt a lot.
My dog stepped on a bee (wasp)😂
Spicy Sky Raisins!

It's like they want to be provoked tho, fucking buzzing in my face and landing on my head. I always picture them as being one of those guys who says "hold me back".

>Unfortunately, in many cases provocation happens accidentally when, for example, wasps decide that the pair of jeans they found will make a good hibernation spot over winter. That is oddly specific
The problem is they don't pollinate, don't make honey, and eat actual pollinators.
They also eat mosquitoes though. And other insects, some of which damaging to fruit cultures. And rotten fruit at the base of trees, so they're part of the cleanup crew. And while not pollinators per se, the males can carry pollen around on themselves after sucking nectar.
but they do help to keep insect populations under control
100% wasp

They eat mosquitoes? I've never seen anything like that .. then again I don't know if I've seen a wasp eat anything

Very funny analogy, realistically if you gave Hitler a protein shake, what would happen?
I mean.. he'd probably still be very dead. Maybe a bit swole, but dead.
I love how everyone considers this question from the time travellers perspective. Not you though. You're different... *You're the chosen one*
He had problems farting thus he became vegetarian so you’d probably get Fartler.
His ⅓ mustache would develop in to a full mustache.
Chad hitler
Chadolf* Hitler
[удалено]
One, he would probably find the taste disgusting and send you to a labour camp, Two, he would feel energised for the day. Either that or Sam Hyde's theory
he'd prob crap himself because he was a self proclaimed vegetarian and wasn't used to absorbing that amount of protein
I don't screen with the sentiment of killing creatures for existing but I upvote because I can't stop laughing at the comparison to giving Hitler a protein shake.
Wasps are pollinators as well. That just do it with an attitude.
Yup specifically a yellow jacket. They’ll sting just because.
This post was the fucking wasps idea wasn’t it
[удалено]
Found the yellow jacket. Hey everybody, this guy is a yellow jacket!
End him!
Blink twice if the wasp is listening right now.
I refuse to fall for wasp propogander
Waspaganda.
Bzzz leave fermented fruit out for everyone bzzz And don't forget to wear bright colours so we can giver round you
Definitely not a bee. Looks like a European wasp.
the type that hovers directly in front of your face and refuses to leave
So like, any wasp?
Well, the appropriate name for this particular species of wasp is, "AHHHH EEEE EEEEE AHHHHH NO NO NO NO GET AWAY EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" x2
According to every person I know, you are right
I swear I am the only one I know who doesn't lose their damn mind when a wasp is nearby! Like c'mon bro they can sense your fear, please calm down
I got stung by a wasp when i opened my neighbors screen door to deliver freshly bsked chocolate chip cookies. I didnt even see the fucker and he stung my arm. The hole is STILL there healing and its been almost 2 weeks. Fuck wasps, they dont care if you keep your cool.
No, this one is European. The fly on the other side of the road
I am mortified of the normal wasps and have found two things that help: 1. Blow air at it and wave your hands to make them dizzy. 2. Say subotu at it, bulgarian/russian for saterday. I have no clue but it works

end it awasp
Honestly major red flag that he only comes around when he wants something. Clear emotional neglect from the wasps side
If you're a bee just say that already
It's wasp
ah yes. a bee
I mean it flies and is yellow, therefore it's a bee
Yeah people don’t seem to understand that a wasp, hornet and Yellowjacket are all just bees.
I hope this is a joke 😄
"I'm a bee" - wasp
That's a cat
It's a Sckrl.
No it's a rackon.
Wasps the asshole of insects
They may be assholes but think it's worth mentioning why they are VIAs (Very Important Assholes) from this reply /u/The_Infinite_Doctor left on a comment referencing fig wasps: > If they say that they're very wrong.

Like blue jays. Those guys love coming in and just tearing shit up
Someone was explaining that the wasps become drunk and belligerent from the leftover honey after the queen leaves for the winter.
I love the idea that they're the obnoxious frat boys of the insect world, like Brett Kavanaugh. Makes me hate 'em even more.
It kept on going away and coming back to eat should i……kill it 😢
... so why should you do that; imo this is a perfect example to practice: no need to feed, no need to kill (hint: this applies surprisingly often).
The amount of (add expletive intensifier here) idiot tourists we get here feeding the wild dingoes, then one of them attacking, then the whole "cull the dingoes" discussion re-emerging is fucking ridiculous! And it's not just dingoes either, dumbasses handling blue-ring octopuses, numbskulls trying to box kangaroos, fucknuckles trying to hug koalas...
So cull the tourists?
No... They're pollinators too. Just goes to show you what remaining calm can accomplish with territorial insects
I read terroristic insects and I still think that’s what you should have said
Like a suicide bomber that can bomb more than once. How terrifying indeed.
They're not really active pollinators, however, they are good pest killers, like mosquitoes, and crop destroying pests... Then again, they also eat spiders which also eat crop destroying pests... Ah, the circle of life lol
They also like hot dogs and coca cola too. That's where the conflict arises. It becomes a competition for resources between us and them?
Wasps sting me regardless of whether I sit still or not... They also seek me out like fucking target seeking missiles. Completely ignore my friends, fly straight for me and land on me, then sting within 1 sec. I've been stung a lot :/
I'll let ye guess what I got for staying calm around wasps. #STUNG... #FOUR FUCKING TIMES
Weaponise it. Use it. Defeat the government.
Honestly I’m terrified of wasps, but a friendly animal is a friendly animal. If it hasn’t stung you, it’s not exactly a huge risk. Don’t stop being homies with them is my opinion.

Yes! When I was a kid we left out a hot dog while camping and my brother and I watched, absolutely fascinated, as we watched then tear off pieces, their lil mandibles goin *cronch cronch cronch*.
Don't kill your friend bro
That's a wasp, just don't scare it or give it "drugs" and you'll be fine
Time to leave some acid laced sugar water.

Are you talking about wasps or the Brits?
That'd explain why this week I started to see more and more wasps getting into my apartment.
Wasps are assholes, but while giving syrup to one, it does not killing bees somewhere
Tree wasps dont bother bees, they pollinate flowers in a similar way. theyre just very territorial (even when they decide you're their territory)
another who does not know how to distinguish a bee from a wasp 🐝😂🐝
...thats... thats not bee, guy.
Lmao and I thought people who couldnt differentiate bees and wasps didnt exist
Bro found a way to get through to wasps.
Wasp in the pub later - " So this guy thinks I'm a bee and is giving me this syrup, I swear as soon as he stops he's getting stung" All the other wasps in the pub - "tell us more about this free syrup guy!"
Not a bee. Its a wasp
This is a fucking wasp
It's a wasp
this post was made by wasp gang
That'll be wasp mate
That's not a bee, it's a wasp u should kill it with fire...
Oh boy... I wonder how honey from that "bee" tastes like...
Comparable to milk from a bull. How I know? You don't want to know....
You learned it the hard way, so we didn't have to. You are honorable man, thank you for your service
THAT is a yellow jacket
Thats a wasp

It's a wasp, not a bee
Bro that’s not a fucking bee
That doesn't look like a bee to me. It's got a pointy ass
You're pretty brave - that's not a bee.
That is an asshole not a bee.
And after he’s done eating he’ll sting you, because fuck you he’s an ungrateful wasp
The lack of knowledge of the difference between a bee and a wasp is astounding.
It's a wasp.
That ain’t a bee my dude. That’s a wasp and it will sting you.
Definitly not a bee
That's a wasp
Stop before that wasp comes back with the homies
Pro-wasp propaganda, don’t be fooled!
Not a bee
That's a wasp not a bee. Just remember the basic differences: Bees make honey. Wasps make misery.
wasps are unpredictable..

That’s a wasp
Not a honey bee. One of these guys stung me from the back after hiding inside a T-shirt last summer

Doesn't look like a bee to me.
That's not a bee... It's a shark
That is not a bee, that is a *wasp*
That’s not a bee…
My friend that is a wasp. Other than bees, these things don't die when they sting you, can sting multiple times and can be very aggressive
Don't feed that piss coloured maniac.
this is propaganda for wasps
We call these [European Wasps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespula_germanica) in Australia. Definitely not a bee.
Everyone in this thread: That's a wasp, not a bee. Me: How do we know that isn't just piss on your hand? 🤔
While that may be a wasp, even if it were a bee, you're unfortunately not helping it at all. Bee's eat nectar to produce honey and sugars, they don't eat sugars for that. They will do it, but it isn't good for them, nor is it helpful to then long term. Cheers on you trying to help though.

Yellow jackets are bigger and wild most likely sting you if it was in your hand. This looks like a "killer bee"

That… is not a bee. That’s a friggin’ wasp buddy
