Sunshine on a Cloudy Day!
Bees have a solar compass, which lets them remember where things are in relation to the sun. The bee's ability to see polarized light (something no human can do) lets her determine where the sun is regardless of whether it is obscured by clouds. The other tool is her internal clock, which lets her keep track of how far she has flown.
Shake That Booty
The behavior of these two types of insect, bees and wasps, is both similar and completely different. Both have species that are social and solitary, both have species that build nests and live in the ground. Both are ambivalent about humans and both will only attack humans, when they or their community is threatened.
