What is the structural differences between a bee and a termite?

Bees and termites have distinct structural differences reflective of their different lifestyles. Bees possess two pairs of wings, a segmented body with a narrow waist, and specialized mouthparts for collecting nectar, while termites have a more uniform body shape without a pronounced waist and two pairs of equal-sized wings that are often shed after mating. Additionally, bees have compound eyes for navigation, whereas termites have simpler eyes or may be completely blind, relying on chemical communication. These structural adaptations support their divergent roles in ecosystems: bees as pollinators and termites as decomposers.
