Here's a helpful reminder guide on out friendly and non-friendly flying stinging insects. Especially for those with children.

Bees; Pollinates, makes honey, won't sting unless provoked, good for everyone. In short: Do not kill.

Wasps; Aggressive aholes, basically here to ruin your day, kills some pests, can sting till it runs out of venom, does not make honey. In short: Kill with fire, violence, and greater prejudice than in colonial era.

Hornets: Basically wasps on steroids, less aggressive, kills pests, does not make honey. In short: Do not kill unless annoying or allergic.

Bumblebees: Cute furry fat bees, important in pollination, can barely sting when threatened, makes honey. In short: Do not kill.

Ichmenoid wasp: Looks like a mutated super evil wasp, stinger used to lay eggs in pests, important to pest control, harmless to humans. In short: Do not kill

Sphenoid wasp: Looks like a super colorful wasp, does not sting unless threatened excessively, kills pests, super painful sting. In short: Kill if annoying or allergic.

Bee flies: Not bees, flies, no stinger, did I mention its a fly? In short: Kill because it's annoying like most flies
