Wasps are generally more aggressive than bees because they are hunters/scavengers rather than specialist nectar-feeders. They have catholic tastes, and constantly search for high-protein edibles among human garbage while bees just look for [[flowers]], which they [[pollinate]] while collecting their nectar food. Wasps are also more likely to sting a [[human]] unprovoked and unlike a bee, a wasp is capable of stinging a human multiple times.
