Why are wasp stings painful?

Yes it hurts. But it settles down after five milloseconds unless it is a wasp, hornet, or yellowjacket. Those things hurt for three hours. Wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets are common in northwestern New York state.

Answer 2

I don't want to scare you, but it is one of the worst pains I have ever experienced in my life. It is best to avoid scaring the bee by sudden movements or panicking. Just stay calm and walk away.

Answer 3

If you are asking why a bee stings, it is for protection: to defend herself (only female bees have stingers) when the bee feels attacked or when she feels her nest is being threatened. If you are asking why you feel a stinging sensation when a bee stings you, it is because she has embedded her stinger into whatever part of your body received the sting (your arm, or your leg, for example). The stinger needs to be removed and medicine needs to be put on the sting. There is a link below about what to do in case you are stung by a bee.
