Bees and wasps are commonly confused for each other. Though they are both flying insects, it is important to know the differences between them to be able to accurately identify which one you are encountering. The reason for this is that wasps are much more aggressive than bees because they can sting multiple times, whereas bees only sting once out of self-defense. Knowing which insect is in your vicinity will help you prevent being in a dangerous situation, and Twin Forks is here to help you do just that!
There are many questions surrounding the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), including how it’s spread. With warm weather approaching, there may be concerns about disease transmission from insects, but it’s important to note that coronavirus is not spread by vector pests.
