June 12, 2011 Posted by Aron

Bee vs Fly

Bee and Fly are two kinds of insects that show differences between them when it comes to their characteristics and behavior. A bee is a kind of insect that is said to have four wings whereas a fly has two wings. While flies have large eyes and a pair of short antennas bee has small eyes and the antennas are larger than that of flies.

Bee eats honey from the flowers. It is said to hover around the flowers and a good pollinator. On the other hand a fly is an insect that is said to move around garbage and other foul smelling items, they are not good pollinators. This the major difference between a bee and a fly.

A bee is after fragrance emanating from flowers whereas a fly is after foul and bad smell emanating from garbage and perishable food. A bee is said to hum.  The humming sound of the bee is very popular even among children.

Flies cause various diseases whereas bees do not cause dreadful diseases. As a matter of fact flies cause a dreadful disease called cholera. It is really dreadful in the sense that the patient affected by the disease even dies in certain advanced cases. On the other hand a bee does not cause any disease for that matter.

A bee is said to bite and the bite of the bee is called as a sting. It is said that the sting of a bee is very painful indeed. The part of the human body that receives the sting of a bee gets swollen at times. On the other hand a fly also bites but it does not cause a painful bite. It is said that a fly has poison on its head. It delivers the poison on its head when it sits on eatables like sweets and other items. It is said that sweets and foods made out of sugar and jaggery are said to produce more flies.
