How many types of bees are there? How can we identify poisonous bees?

When it comes to bees, we must first understand them.

Honey bees belong to the phylum Arthropoda, subclass Pterygota, order Lepidoptera, suborder Apoidea, superfamily Apoidea, and are flying social insects, also known as resource insects. They are generally 8 to 20 mm long, with yellow-brown or dark-brown bodies and dense hairs; their heads are almost as wide as their chests; their waists are thinner than their chests and abdomens; their antennae are knee-shaped, their compound eyes are oval, their mouthparts are chewing and sucking, and their hind legs are pollen-carrying legs; they have two pairs of membranous wings, with large forewings and small hindwings, and the front and back wings are linked by wing hooks; their abdomens are nearly oval, with fewer hairs than their chests, and stingers at the end of their abdomens. Honey bees are holometabolous insects, and they go through four stages in their lives: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. The textbook answer is a bit cumbersome, but don't underestimate the small size of honey bees. They are also famous in nature, and they are short and powerful.

We are all familiar with bees. Textbooks of all periods will talk about bees to some extent. Their hardworking figures have long been deeply rooted in our minds. The honey they brew has also sweetened the hearts of many of us in our childhood. They are honest and capable, but they are also poisonous, like a line in a movie: Never bully honest people. Honest people have a Buddha in their hearts, and the Buddha suppresses the devil. If you push the Buddha, you deserve to face the devil! The bee is the honest "person", but behind its honesty, it also has a thorn, hiding the thorn of the "devil"!

Without further ado, today we will introduce some common poisonous bees.

1 bee

Actually, the concept of bee is somewhat blurred in our daily life. Many people call all bees "honey bees". No way, no way, there seem to be quite a lot of such people. Oh my God, since it is a bee, it must be able to make honey first. Not all bees can make honey. Some can only sting people.

Honey bees are the most common bees we have. They are natural honey makers, hardworking gardeners, good-tempered and easy to feed. They are slightly poisonous, and the pain index after stinging is two stars.

Hornets, also known as wasps. Yes, this is the famous wasp, very poisonous, pain index: six stars. Remember, if you encounter this kind of bee, run away, kid, um... it's a wasp...

There are different types of hornets, but they look almost the same, the only difference is size. Remember, the bigger the hornet, the more poisonous it is. Run away if you see one. After all, you are not the village of my hometown (manually funny~) Everything is edible~

3. Two-lined Long-legged Bee

Pain index: five stars. I won’t introduce it in detail because there is too little meat and it’s not tasty (funny)

That's all for the general introduction. In fact, except for honey bees, other highly toxic bees look similar to the above two categories, with hard and smooth shells and fancy decorations. The prettier they are, the more toxic they are. It is worth mentioning that after a bee stings a person once, the stinger transformed from its reproductive organs will break off. You feel pain, but it dies, a silent sigh. This is not the case with other bees. They can sting again and again, and they are super strong (funny again~bye~)

There are many types of bees, including hornets, wasps, and hornets. The sting of these bees is triangular. Generally, the toxicity of honey bees is relatively low, while the toxicity of other bees is relatively high.

There are three types of bees: queen bees, drone bees, and worker bees. Generally, there is only one queen bee in a beehive. How to distinguish poisonous bees? You can look at their stingers. The stingers of bees have barbs, which will slide off after stinging people, while the stingers of wasps are straight and can attack repeatedly.

How many types of bees are there? How can you tell the poisonous bees apart? There is nothing special about bees. Bees are relatively small and easy to tell apart. If you see a large bee with a black mark on its body, it is a wasp or a hornet. These two types of bees are more poisonous.

Bees are divided into hornets, hornets, bumblebees, wasps, hornets, etc. Bees are generally not very poisonous. They are relatively small and easy to distinguish! Wasps and hornets are poisonous. They are relatively large and have black marks on their bodies. If you are stung by a bee, you must see a doctor in time and don't delay treatment!

What is the difference between bees and wasps?

The materials of wasp nest and bee nest are different

Whether it is a hornet or a bee can be seen from the "houses" they live in. The hornet's hive is made of paper, while the bee's hive is made of wax. Judging from the material, the bee's hive is obviously more "precious" than that of the hornet.

Wasps are more irritable than bees

Both hornets and honeybees have the habit of living in groups. Since most honeybees are raised artificially, a beehive can hold tens of thousands of bees. Hornets are mostly wild, and most of the yellow wasp nests found are only the size of a fist, with about 100 to 200 yellow wasps living in one nest. Although they have the habit of living in groups, they are also xenophobic. If a member accidentally breaks in, they will attack and kill him. Hornets have a strong habit of protecting their young and nests, and they have a more violent temper and are more "belligerent".

Bees die after stinging, but wasps don't

The stinger of a wasp is long and thin, and it can be pulled out smoothly after stinging a person. Although their "combat effectiveness" will weaken after each sting, they will recover after a period of rest and will not pose a threat to life. Bees are not so lucky. There are barbs on the stinger of a bee. After stinging a person, the stinger will remain in the skin and cannot be pulled out. The stinger of a bee is connected to the internal organs. After stinging a person, the internal organs will be pulled out along with the stinger. Therefore, when a bee stings a person, it costs its life. They can only sting a person once in their lifetime, and they will die soon after stinging a person.

Wasps are more vindictive than bees

Although wasps will not die after stinging people, they are unwilling to become enemies when nothing is wrong. Like bees, they will not attack humans if humans do not actively harass them and they do not feel threatened. Wasps live in groups, but some will act alone very close to their nests. If you happen to run into a wasp head-on, or find one or two wasps circling in front of you, you must dodge quickly and do not attack easily. Many people will kill wasps in panic after encountering them. When you kill a wasp, more and more wasps will rush to attack you, and sometimes the wasps will come out of the nest to retaliate.

Once a wasp is killed, it will release a unique smell before dying as a danger signal to its companions. After receiving the signal from their companions, the wasps in the same nest will immediately rush over to provide support. This is why killing a wasp will attract a whole nest of wasps. In addition, if you accidentally provoke a wasp nest, you should lie down and don't move, so as not to be chased by a swarm of wasps.

Wasps are more susceptible to scent than honey bees

Wasps are particularly sensitive to smells. Some people are used to spraying perfume before going out, and some people like to use strongly scented cosmetics. When wasps smell these scents, they will be stimulated, and then the desire to attack will be aroused. They will chase the emanation of the fragrance and sting without mercy.

Wasps, like humans, are sensitive to different scents. Some hornets like the scent of flowers, while others like the scent of fruit. Therefore, people should avoid carrying any scent when taking a walk in the wild.

The toxicity of wasps and bees is different

There are two types of hornets, poisonous and non-toxic. The poisonous ones are female hornets. The wound from a hornet sting is usually not large, but allergic reactions may occur if not treated in time, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. The treatment methods for hornet stings are different from those for bee stings.

Bee venom is acidic and can be applied with soapy water, while wasp venom is weakly alkaline and should be applied with vinegar to the wound to neutralize the acid and alkali and reduce the toxicity. If there is an onion, you can cut it into slices and apply it to the wound. In addition, you can also use wind oil, cooling oil, etc. to eliminate bee venom, but never wipe it with red medicine or iodine, which will not only have no therapeutic effect, but will aggravate the swelling.

Pomeranians can be said to be the same as wasps, but the classification systems (standards of different scholars) are different, and the Pomeranidae can be separated from the Waspidae. It is generally recognized that the two are the same.

Vespidae: Bees in this family are usually called wasps or hornets. They are medium to large in size, and most of them have smooth bodies with various colored spots. The upper jaw is well developed. The wings are long and narrow, and folded together longitudinally when at rest. The abdomen is usually not contracted and is shaped like an abdominal stalk. Wasps have a simple social organization, with queens, drones, and worker bees. They often build a paper bell-shaped or layered hive and live collectively on it. Adult wasps mainly prey on small insects of the order Lepidoptera, and therefore are also an important type of natural enemy insects. %C2%ED%B7%E4&in=11&cl=2&cm=1&sc=0&lm=-1&pn=10&rn=1

Honey bees belong to the order Hymenoptera, the suborder Slender-waisted, the family Apidae, and the family Apidae. The body length is 8-20 mm, yellowish brown or dark brown, and covered with dense hairs. The head is almost as wide as the chest. The antennae are knee-shaped, the compound eyes are oval and hairy, the mouthparts are chewing and sucking, and the hind legs are pollen-carrying legs. There are two pairs of membranous wings; the forewings are large, the hindwings are small, and the front and back wings are connected by a row of wing hooks. The abdomen is nearly oval, with less body hair than the chest, and there are chelae at the end of the abdomen. Honey bees undergo complete metamorphosis, and they go through four stages in their life: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. %C3%DB%B7%E4&in=3&cl=2&cm=1&sc=0&lm=-1&pn=2&rn=1

Vespidae: Bees in this family, usually called wasps or hornets, are medium to large in size, with smooth body surfaces and various patterns. The upper jaw is well developed. The wings are long and narrow, and folded together longitudinally when at rest. The abdomen is generally not contracted and is shaped like an abdominal stalk. Wasps have a simple social organization, with queens, drones and worker bees, and often build a papery bell-shaped or layered hive on which they live collectively. Adult wasps mainly prey on small insects of the Lepidoptera, so they are also an important natural enemy of insects. Bees belong to the order Hymenoptera, the suborder Slender-waisted, the family Apidae. The body is 8-20 mm long, yellowish brown or dark brown, and covered with dense hair. The head is almost as wide as the thorax. The antennae are knee-shaped, the compound eyes are oval and hairy, the mouthparts are chewing and sucking, and the hind legs are pollen-carrying legs. Two pairs of membranous wings; the forewings are large, the hindwings are small, and the fore and hind wings are linked by a row of wing hooks. The abdomen is nearly oval, with less body hair than the thorax, and there is a stinger at the end of the abdomen. Honey bees undergo complete metamorphosis, going through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa and adult.

Although hornets and bees are both bees, they are very different. However, we can distinguish them from these five aspects!
