What is the difference between a wasp and a beehive?

The similarities between wasps and honey bees: they both belong to the order Hymenoptera, suborder Sphenotype, and are social insects that colonize.

Differences: Honey bees belong to the family Apidae, with short and thick bodies, covered with bristles, herbivorous, specialized hind legs that carry pollen, capable of collecting nectar and pollen, and making honey. The royal jelly, honey, and beeswax produced by bees are beneficial to human health. Bees generally do not actively attack humans, but will conflict with humans when they have to. After stinging people, they will die because of the barbs in their stings. The substances contained in the stings of bees are effective for certain arthritis in humans. Bees bring health and sweetness to humans. The honey-collecting activities of bees pollinate plants, bringing harvests and wealth to humans. Bees are good friends of humans. Wasps belong to the family Vespidae, with slender bodies, less body hair, carnivorous, and good at using fibrous materials to make beehives. If harassed, they will actively track and attack intruders. Their stings are sharp and slightly toxic. People with sensitive constitutions will have redness and swelling in the wound after being stung. Wasps feed on tiny animals (mainly insects) and can control some agricultural harmful insects. They are well-known natural enemy insects and friends of humans.

What kind of bee makes the soft beehive? It shouldn't be a wasp, right? Where can I find the soft beehive?

Hello!

The nesting cells used to breed queen bees are called queen cells, which are mostly located at the bottom and corners of the honeycomb. They are shaped like drooping peanuts and are temporary structures built by bee colonies before swarming.

The wasp's hive is made of rotten branches and some animal feces. There are irregular transitional cells for storing honey and reinforcing the comb. The honeycomb is built by worker bees using the wax secreted by their own wax glands. The large and small hexagonal cells are used to breed drones and worker bees respectively, and the bottom surface is three rhombus-shaped surfaces.

This is just my personal opinion, please don't criticize if you don't agree, thank you.

Soft honeycombs are made of bees' secretions and saliva, namely beeswax. Wasp nests are made of animal and plant debris glued to mud by wasps. In Guangdong, wasps are called human-headed bees because of their nests.
