2 Read the article about bees and wasps. Answer the questions.
Bees and wasps both have black and yellow stripes, but they aren't as similar as you think. A
bee's body is round and hairy, and the body of a wasp is long, thin and smooth. Bees have
thick, black hairy legs, but wasps' legs are thin and yellow. Bees and wasps have different
bodies because they live in a different way. Bees go from flower to flower collecting pollen and
nectar. The pollen stays on the hairs on their bodies. Wasps don't collect pollen from plants;
they look for small insects to eat. Honey bees and common wasps, called yellow jackets, live
in colonies.
Bees make their colonies from wax, but wasps make theirs out of small pieces of wood. They
put the wood in their mouths to make it wet and then they use it to build the colony. Young
bees and wasps live inside the colony. Bees feed their young with pollen and nectar, and
wasps feed theirs with the insects they catch. Both insects are useful because bees make
honey and wasps kill small insects that eat plants. They use their sting to kill the insects, and
they sometimes sting people, too. A wasp can sting a person many times, but a bee can use
its sting only once, and then it dies.
