What draws a wasp stinger out?
A wasp's stinger (or a bee's stinger for that matter), is actually called an ovipositor. It is a hollow and somewhat pointed tube used by the wasp or bee to lay eggs. However, it is also used as a 'defensive' weapon when the wasp or bee stings something or someone. There is a small venom sack attached to it. So, the wasp or bee has a choice on what to eject from the "stinger," either an egg, or venom, depending upon how the bee or wasp is using its "stinger."The stinger is usually at or near the rear of the insect. So, it is not in the mouth of the wasp or bee. When a person is stung, they are poked by the stinger, not bit.Since the "stinger" is actually designed to lay or deposit eggs, only female bees and wasps can sting. Male bees and wasps cannot sting because they have no stinger and cannot lay eggs. The stinger can vary in length, depending upon the wasp or bee species and may be quite small in some species, a few tenths' of a millimeter long, or may be quite long, over 10 centimeters, again, depending upon the wasp or bee species. Some wasps can sting, some cannot sting (or perhaps do not know to sting). However, I have been stung by wasps that are very small, 1 - 2 mm, and wasps that are large. And I have not been stung by larger wasps with very large stingers. So, the wasp's size is not a very good indicator of whether a wasp will sting or not.If the stinger is jagged or barbed, like a worker honey bee, the stinger is torn out of the bee when it stings someone, and thus kills the bee. When the stinger is smooth, like for many wasp species, the stinger does not pull out, and the wasp can sting as many times as it wants or feels the need to do.
What happens when a rabbit gets stung by a wasp?

Consult a vet if there is considerable redness, swelling or other allergy symptoms.

Does the stinger from a bee or wasp need to come out?
A wasp withdraws its stinger so there is nothing to come out. However, the stinger of a honey bee remains in your skin and should be removed as quickly as possible as it will be pumping venom until it is removed. It will also turn septic eventually if it isn't removed. Incidentally, the honey bee dies after it has stung you becaue its stinger is ripped from its body in the process of stinging.
Is it safe to suck out a wasp sting?
It is not safe to suck the stinger of a wasp out. This is because the stinger is still pumping poison. It is best to gently scrape it out using a fingernail or the edge of a credit card.
How do you extract a wasp stinger?
You don't. Unlike a honey bee, a wasp withdraws its stinger after stinging and a honey bee leaves its stinger stuck in your skin.
What is stronger a bee sting or a wasp sting?
A wasp's sting. The wasp sting is worse because their stinger is smooth making them able to pull it out smoothly and shove it in again. A bee's stinger is barbed like a fishing hook so they can't pull it out.
