Both bees and wasps often sip nectar from flowers. However, bees feed their young with pollen collected from flowers while wasps feed their young on insect or spider prey. So if you see an insect collecting pollen from a flower, it is a bee, not a wasp. You might say: wasps are carnivorous while bees are vegetarian! For more information on the differences between a bee and a wasp, see our native bee field guide.
