Do wasp and Bees have arseholes, I don't think they do. If not, how do they dispose of their bodily waste?
Just something that came to me.

i think most metazoans have assholes in their general bodyplan with some exceptions. I think I mentioned this already somewhere before, but flatworms do not really have a separate asshole. They use their mouth for feeding and for defecating.
Since bees do eat I suggest that they do have a proper asshole, all according to the insect bauplan.
From the midgut the food passes to the hindgut (called the Proctodaeum in some books). The hind gut comprises the 'intestines' which is where much of the diffusion into the the insects body occurs. The 'rectum' which compresses the undigested food and waste products, extracts more water from this if necessary before it is passed out through the 'anus' as faeces.
