Celery or beanstalkd or both?

Question

I know (but don't understand) that celery can use Beanstalk as a delivery mechanism.

From Beanstalkd

"Beanstalk - A Simple, Fast Work Queue."

On the home page

"His task queue is focused on real-time processing and also supports task scheduling."

It looks like me. So why should I choose Celery instead of a simple beanstalk? Or why should I choose a beanstalk instead of a full celery?

I would like to add a task / work queue to my webapp, but I'm not sure where to go.
