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.

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.
