According to the [[Commentary:The Sting|commentary]] of [[The Sting]], the [[Space Bee]]s are not at all similar to the space wasps.  And thus these two episodes supposedly contradict each other. However, there are species of [[Earth]] wasps who attack beehives in swarms, and eat the bees for food. The same may be true of space wasps, which may have come to devour the bees that killed the crew, somehow eating their [[career chip|career chips]] as well.

N/A
First appearance"Space Pilot 3000" (1ACV01)
Episode

The Space Wasp is an unconfirmed alien species. It only appeared written on a folder containing the career chips of the former planet express crew which read: "Contents of Space Wasp Stomach". Just like any other creature with the name beginning with the word "space" this creature could not enter Slurm's golden bottle cap competition from Fry and the Slurm Factory.

Production

When they were writing "The Sting", writers wanted to ensure that the continuity was kept between the Space Wasps mentioned in the first episode, and the Space Bees mentioned in "The Sting".[1] Unfortunately bees and wasps are not found to co-mingle in any form, and as such would be a break in continuity, that they decided to go through with despite their knowledge.[1]
