Bees, all denominations, sting. their stinger is barbed, and stays in the target, along with a portion of their abdomen, witch will continue to pump venom. That is why you remove the stinger carefully, with a knife, to preclude additional venom from being squeezed in.
Hornets also sting, but their stinger is NOT barbed. 1 hornet can sting the victim a dozen or more times.

Wasps, paper, mud and others, bite. Their jaws are horizontally opposed, and they take a chunk out of the victim, in addition to imparting venom in the process of biting.
Wasps are meat eaters.
