Title: Bee identification
Post by: BjornBee on August 25, 2009, 03:17:16 PM
Somewhere in searching other bee stuff, I remember coming across a site that had some good pictures comparing honey bees, wasps, hornets, etc. It was a page identifying each one and had a nice photo of wasps, yellowjackets, honey bees, etc.

We would like to add an identification page to the Pennsylvania state beekeeping website, to educate the public and keep the time we run after false swarms to minimum.

Anyone know of such a site or who has it?

Thank you.

http://bugguide.net and http://whatsthatbug.com both have lots of pics identifying bees/wasps/hornets etc... but neither have a specific page about distinguishing between them so I'm not sure if they have what your really looking for.
