Black wasps sting just like any other bee or wasp. However, the black wasp isn't as aggressive as most species.

If a wasp landed on a nettle will the wasp sting the nettle or the nettle sting the wasp?
Probably neither. The stinging hairs on the nettle would not be strong enough to penetrate the wasp's exoskeleton, and the wasp would have no reason to sting the nettle.
Bicarbonate of soda has a pH about 9 why is this good thing to treat a bee sting with?
The soda which is alkaline neutralizes the bee sting which is acidic. For wasp stings use vinegar. Vinegar is acidic and neutralizes the alkaline wasp sting.
What acids is present in toothpaste that minimise the pain caused by the bee sting?
i believe that the pain caused by a bee sting is caused by a strong acid which is injected by the sting itself. The substance in the toothpaste which causes the pain to be minimised is not actually an acid, but a base. This substance is most likely sodium bicarbonate, which will neutalise the acid. Conversely wasp stings are caused by a strong alkalai substance and can be neutralised with a strong acid (such as vinegar)
What are the chances of a wasp stinging you when it is hovering a few inches away from you?
It very much depends on you. If you try to get it to go away by swatting at it with your hands, the chances are fairly high. On the other hand, if you move slowly and just walk away, the chances will be vanishingly small. As long as the wasp stays where it is, there is zero chance; the wasp has to land on your skin before it can sting you. The carbon dioxide in your exhaled breath will excite them. Avoiding this contact will reduce the chance of being stung.
What are the disadvantages of animals in forest?
Provided the animals are indigenous to that area there are no disadvantages except one (Come back to it in a moment). Indigenous animals create a 'balance' in that they eat the vegetation aat a rate to stop soil depleation, they fertilise the soil with manures, they assist with the spread to seed and pollens. Now for the one disadvantage. If any species becomes overpopulous then it can upset the balance through various means. Whilst I was living in Africa, one of the game reserves had too many elephants. They over fed on the trees causing shortages for other species and soil erosion when trees died. The elephants had to be culled. I have seen the same thing here in Australia with Kangaroos killing off natural grasslands and Koalas killing off Manna Gum trees. In all of these instances, the hand of people caused these problems. We protect animals from poachers, the animals grow too numerous, or we save animals from housing increases and again theu get too numerous or we introduce a non idigenous species into an area and it causes no end of grief (Cane toad in Queensland Aus, Crown of Thorns starfish on Great Barrier Reef, Rabbits in all of Australia, European Wasp Australia, Carp Fish in Australia) These are just a few in one country. In U.S.A., U.K., parts of Europe and elsewhere, non indigenous species have caused the extinction or near extinction of local flora and fauna.
