what's the difference between a wasp, a bee, a hornet, and a yellow jacket?

Update:

I like real answers, funny answers and even unexpexted answers. I can even tolerate one-word answers that don't really mean much (get ur stupid points i don't care, all it's gonna get u is an ugly wallpaper, and only answers chosen as best will count towards you climbing up the ladder)

But answering with an insult is just mean, inconsiderate and reflect the person's ignorance (ahem... points fingers). The next time this comes up is gonna be reported as abuse.

    wasp-- slender body with a constricted abdomen, two pairs of membranous wings, mouths adapted for biting or sucking, and in the females an ovipositor often modified as a sting

    bee-- winged, hairy-bodied, usually stinging insects characterized by sucking and chewing mouthparts for gathering nectar and pollen

    hornet-- large stinging wasps that characteristically build large papery nests

    yellow jacket-- small wasps that have yellow and black markings and usually nest in the ground

    Wasp, hornet, and yellow jacket can sting you repeatedly and bees can only sting once, then they die.

    I know a WASP doesn't die after stinging you so they can sting again and again!
