Fehling's solution is made up out of two separate solutions, is caustic, and doesn't keep well. Benedict's solution is more stable, is a single solution, and has no caustic properties, making it easier to handle. 
Benedict solution is contains Cu2+ ions and it is a mild oxidizing agent.. 
HOPE IT CLEARS
