No, I think wasps are carnivorous and therefore do not make honey.

No. Honey Bees and a few types of ants will make honey, but not wasps.

No, only bees make honey. “Certain wasps, like yellow jackets (the ones by the picnic table) are actually pollinators and ensure the survival of many plant species, just like their very close relatives, the bees.” They do not, however have the same kind of hive structure or habits.

Real honey only comes from Honey Bees, but some ants make substances much like it (but they aren’t really farmed for it, lol) I think wasps just kill and eat things when they’re hungry – they don’t congregate in massive hives such that they need inbuilt food storage and supplies that can be replenished by a few of them while the others tend to the queen ; )
