Is there a bee-ologist who can tell me if hornets are wasps, or are they their own thing?

The wasps around here have always been pretty chill around me, but I get wary around hornets.

So, first of all a bee-ologist can only help you marginally, as bees are in the same order as wasps, hornets and ants but relatively far removed from them. Hornets (genus vespa) and classic wasps (genus vespula) on the other hand share the same subfamily vespinae and are both considered wasps. This was a nice short dive into wikipedia. As I am a crystallographer any real entomologist can feel free to correct me.

My dad's not a bee-ologist. He's an apiarist(bee keeper). He is suuuuuper knowledgeable about wasps, hornets, and ants too because like me he's a fuckin nerd!
I have not a single thing other than that to add to the conversation! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
