A yellow jacket is a variety of wasp, and yes, the queen can sting.
A yellow jacket (wasp) has lots (maybe infinite) stings until it dies.
About a pint
yes
It is very possible for a yellow jacket to sting a person twice. The stinger does not get stuck in it's victim like a bee's.
In most cases they will not, but you never know. If it gets too high you should see a doctor and mention the yellow jacket sting.
yup
I have been stung by a mud dauber and a yellow jacket. The mud dauber sting is more like a needle prick than a sting. The yellow jacket sting hurt a lot worse... I would think, based on my own reaction, that the venom is different.
Guinea wasps have a very painful sting. It is a type of paper wasp. It is yellow and black and often mistaken for a yellow jacket.
It is bigger and gives birth to baby yellow jackets
yes if you touch the stinger and the yellow jacket hasn't stung anyone else becasue once they sting someone or something their stinger wont grow back
Neither. With a pH of 6.8 to 6.9 it is very nearly neutral.
A worker honey bee's sting is barbed, so after she has thrust it into the victim she cannot pull it back out. When the bee pulls away, the sting remains behind, together with the venom sac and often part of the intestine. The resulting damage is fatal to the bee. A queen bee has a smooth sting so she can withdraw the sting and re-use it. Drones (male bees) don't have a sting.
They will sting at any time of year, if they feel threatened. However, they are generally more active in the summer, so you are more likely to run into a yellow jacket around August.
They don't. But the bulls eye is from a deer tick, and that means you have lyme disease! Seek medical attention immediately!
