No, a wasp cannot lose its stinger.
However, honeybees do lose their stinger (and life) when they sting a person. And their stinger continues to pump venom into the victim after it has become detached from the bee. The stinger of the wasp is not barbed and can be used again and again, while the honeybee stinger is barbed and remains in victim's skin.

Why do wasps leave their stinger?
Wasps do not leave their stingers behind when they sting, unlike bees. Their stingers are smooth and can be used multiple times, allowing them to sting multiple times without losing their stinger. This adaptation helps them defend their nests and capture prey more effectively. In contrast, bees have barbed stingers that become lodged in their target, leading to their death after a single sting.

Does the queen bees sting hurt more than other bees?
This is hard to answer. First queen bees do not normally leave the hive and thus rarely have the opportunity to sting humans. Normally a queen only users her stinger to kill other queens to eleminate competition. A queens stinger has no barb. Female worker bees that defend the hive have barbed stingers. Their stingers pull free from the bee, remain in the skin and even work further in. And, their stinger continues to release venom after it is detached from the bee. Since a queen's stinger is smooth (no barb) this allows it to be kept after a sting and thus she can sting multiple times.
