No.

The bee has mandibles (jaws) suspended from the head each side of the mouth. They act like a pair of pliers and are used for any chores that require grasping or cutting, such as working wax to construct the comb, biting into flower parts to release pollen, carrying rubbish out of the hive, or gripping enemies when defending the nest.

The front of the mouth is a wide plate or labrum. A proboscis is formed by bringing together several lower mouth parts and forms a long, slender, hairy tongue that acts as a straw to bring the liquid food (nectar, honey and water) to the mouth. When in use, the tongue moves rapidly back and forth while the flexible tip performs a lapping motion. After feeding, the proboscis is drawn up and folded behind the head.

Bees can eat fine particles like pollen, which is used as a source of protein, but cannot handle big particles.

No. Bees do not have teeth. It is a fact. Bees only suck nectar from flower, therefore, they have no need for real teeth.

Do wasps have hair?

Bumble Bee's have mandibles which are more like jaws than individual teeth in fact in vertabrates they often are jaws filled with rows of teeth. Some of these mandibles in Bumble Bees and other arthropods have many serrations that act as teeth in a way to grab and tear food the insect is eating. In bees this is usually something only the queen has and the workers and drones have mandibles with no serrations at all.
