Yellow jackets (wasps) have smooth stings which do not get trapped so when the insect stings it has no problem removing it. For this reason it can sting multiple times. If it does so, and runs out of venom it will soon produce more. It is not possible to put a maximum on the number of times the insect can sting.
yes, and u better get it out before it gets into your blood stream-that is bad bcuz it can kill u by poisoning ur blood.. there is NO cure
Yes. They can sting if provoked but rarely will as they are not aggressive to people or pets as other wasps are. Their stinger is used for immobilizing it's prey which is primarily the black widow spider. See the related link for more information.
As often as they feel like, unlike bees that tear themseves apart after stinging once.
No bees do not bite. They sting. Honey bees have barbed stingers and if they sting a person or animal the barbs in their stinger will stick. When they fly away their rear end is torn off and they die. Bees can sting other insects multiple times and their stinger won't stick because insect flesh is pulpy. Bumble bees (the large fuzzy bee) does not have a barbed stinger. However this particular bee has a very docile personality and is more likely to fly away than sting. Honey bees and bumble bees only eat pollen and nectar from flowers. Bees, Wasps and Hornets do have mouth parts called mandibles which they use for scraping, chewing food and building combs. Wasps and hornets can sting as well. Their stingers are not barbed and they can sting multiple times. These insects are omnivores - they eat all foods. Yellow jackets are very commonly seen when eating food outdoors. They enjoy sugary pop, hot dogs, tuna sandwiches, etc. Yellow jacket wasps tend to become more aggressive in the fall when their food supply is dwindling and they are hungry. Wasps and hornets will eat other insects, and can use their mouth parts to cut up the dead insect in pieces that they carry back to their hive to feed their young.
Yes, honeybees die after they sting because their stingers are barbed and become lodged in the skin, tearing the bee's abdomen as it tries to fly away. Hornets, on the other hand, have smooth stingers and can sting multiple times without dying.
no, so they can sting multiple times, bees die after stinging but the stinger left behind continues to pup in venom, you need to remove the stinger.
The cicada wasp looks exactly like a yellow jacket. The one major feature of the cicada wasp that sets it apart from a yellow jacket is its size. The cicada wasp is as much as 4 times as big as a yellow jacket.

A scorpion can sting multiple times before running out of venom, as it produces venom continuously.
Yellow jackets protect themselves primarily through aggressive behavior and their ability to sting. When threatened, they can sting multiple times, injecting venom that can deter predators and intruders. They also have a strong social structure, with worker wasps defending the nest vigorously. Additionally, their rapid flight and ability to nest in hidden locations help them avoid detection and confrontation.
Good am...No,yellow jackets do not die after they sting.They can sting repeatedly.Quite aggressive if their nest is disturbed.If stung 9 or more times seek medical attention,as some could have an allergic reaction to their sting.Bees only sting once and die!!!!
flying preditor catches and eats yellow jackets,looks kinda like a dragon fly with only one set of wings prehistoric,wierd,ugly,and scarey describe it about 3 times the size of the yellow jacket. in Nor. Car. if that helps
Ask sting he beat him many times before.
A hornet can sting multiple times and not die. This is due to the fact that their stinger is not barbed like worker bees are. The exact number of stings is unknown.
Yes. They can sting if provoked but rarely will as they are not aggressive to people or pets as other wasps are. Their stinger is used for immobilizing it's prey which is primarily the black widow spider. See the related link for more information.
Yellow jackets defining features are hard to tell from similar insect. The nests look like the face of a cliff. With ridges as the jacket expands. The nests can grow up to three times as big as a one gallon jug in two years. Before they land, they do a rapid side to die landing pattern. They only occur in colonies and have distinctive markings.
No, a wasp can sting a number of times before it dies. A bee can only sting once, because its stinger is attached to its internal organs, which are ripped from its body when it stings, killing the bee.
