The Honey Bee is found mostly everywhere except for extremely cold places. 

They are one of the most important creatures in the world

Honey bee's suck nectar and pollen sticks onto their furry bodies and when they fly away pollen falls on the ground and helps plants grow.




Bumble Bee:

Bumble Bee's do the exact same things as Bee's but they are extra furry and carry more pollen.


Yellow Jacket:

Yellow Jackets are more dangerous than Bee's as they have a more powerful sting. 

They also collect nectar and spread pollen but as they don't have furry bodies they are not that efficient. 

They can also sting multiple times as they are able to pull their stinger out. They are a type of wasp.

They still play a major role in our ecosystems, so if they go extinct then it would cause a massive food shortage.

Wasps look like yellow jackets but they a more streamlined. 

They also collect nectar and spread it but not efficient like yellow jackets. 

Wasps are super dangerous as they can sting multiple times.

They are also very important in our ecosystems and must not go extinct.



Hornet:

Hornet's are usually found in Asia. 

They are very dangerous and can sting several times. 

They collect nectar and spread the pollen but again are not efficient. But they still are very essential for life on earth.

Hornets, wasps and yellow jackets are good pest controllers and control overpopulation of other insects.

Hornet's raid Bee hives in Japan so that they can steal the Bee larva but the Bee's in japan adapted with a defense mechanism. 

They don't sting the hornets but they all cuddle around the hornets and starts beating their wings very rapidly to make the hornet heat up so much that it dies.

Hover flies are actually flies that look like Bee's hence predators don't eat them, but the hover flies cant sting like Bee's.
