Typically, different types of bees have different body structures. Hornets are far longer and have different wing types compared to the smaller honeybees or yellow jackets. You can do additional research on the web to discover differences in coloration, wingspan, and body structure.

It is very difficult to determine a bee species without using a microscope to study the smallest details of the bee. The best way to learn to identify bees by appearance is to get a guide on bee species that will categorize species by color and design.

Bees are very difficult to identify on sight alot of different bees look almost identical the best way I have found to do it is to go more by size than appearance.

Bees may not generate as many oohs and aahs as butterflies or hummingbirds. Unlike birds and butterflies, they are small, fast flyers. Bees are responsible for pollination of native plants.
