not as such but the do have special hearing organs Wasps and bees don't have ears in the way warm blooded animals do. However they are sensitive to vibration through their feet and legs, and it is believed their antennae may also be sensitive to vibrations.

Yes, they can listen with the so called Johnston's organ at the base of each antenna.

The honey bee Johnston's organ consists of about 300-320 scolopidia connected with about 48 cuticular "knobs" around the circumference of the pedicel. Each scolopidium contains bipolar sensory neurons with both type I and II cilia. The mechanical sensitivities to sound waves of the antennal flagellum are specifically high in response to low but not high intensity stimuli of 265-350 Hz frequencies.

Not sure it they have "ears". Most insects have a tympanum membrane on their legs that feel vibrations. Not on the feet but the actual leg. Know this from yearly grasshopper dissections with students.
