    Bees and wasps, while both belonging to the Hymenoptera order, diverged within the superfamily Apoidea. Specifically, bees are thought to have evolved from predatory wasps, primarily within the family Crabronidae. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that bees are nested within a paraphyletic Crabronidae.

      So what I am hearing you say is that bees are wasps.
      And upon further examination, ants are wasps.
