Well, hornets and wasps are both bees. Wasps are the dark colored bees that are somewhat skinny and have wispy wings. Wasps build open nests. You usually see them under the eves of houses. Hornets are the black and white bees. They're a little bigger than wasps, but not as fat as bumble bees. They are similar to yellow jackets, but a little bigger and instead of yellow, they have white markings. They build enclosed nests. They will build them just about anywhere, but they are very common in trees.
That concludes this week's episode of Chris Payne The Nature Brain.
