Yep, that's what Europeans (wenn, at least Germans) think of if they hear the word "wasp". And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_honey_bee is what they think of if they hear the word "bee". They're very easy to distinguish: * Wasps have no hairy body. * Wasps also care about meat. * Wasps don't sit on flowers. * Wasps have a very tight and clearly visible taille. * Wasps have clearly visible mandibles. (And it's well known locally that there is a wasp plague in at least Baden-Württemberg this summer.) Maybe north american bees look more like (our) wasps. No idea why else Steve thought that those are bees.
