Do yellow jackets lose their stinger after they sting?
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.

Is it possible for a bee to live after it has stung you?
Honey bees, though they rarely sting, often die after they sting because their stinger is barbed so it lodges into the skin and is torn from the abdomen, causing its death within minutes. Honey bees' stingers are strongly barbed, while yellow jackets and some other wasps have small barbs. The queen bee's sting is smooth, and she can sting her victim several times, though she will rarely leave the hive.

Can wasp lose stingers in clothing and can stinger continue to sting?
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.
