Wasp sting. It hurts like hell. I am on a hippo! :D
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.

∙ 13y agoIve been told that yellow jackets are extremely painful and can sting as many times as they want. However i have heard that there is another type of bee that is very rare and stays on the ground and that when it stings it must be treated or it can severely injure you or even kill you. I forget its name lol

Do bees die when they sting you?

How do you know if you got stung by a bee or wasp?
If it's a bee, the stinger is barbed and thus will usually remain in the victim, so you'll rarely see more than one sting per bee. Wasp stings are generally less powerful, and the stingers are smooth, so they can retract without losing the stinger. Thus multiple stings are possible.

Bee venom is acidic: one of its components is formic acid. However, although it will add to the initial stinging sensation, it is not the acid that does the damage. Most of that is the result of two proteins, mellitin and apamin.

How many honey bee stings would it take to kill a human?
The sting of an Africanized honey bee (proper name for what Hollywood and the sensationalist media call the 'killer bee') is no worse than the sting of any other variety of bee. Most people will just have a short period of pain from the sting, but there is a very small minority of people who are hypersensitive to bee venom, and for these people one sting can be dangerous -- even life-threatening. And the variety of bee makes no difference.
