Bee And Wasp Stingers
The barbed stinger of a bee hooks onto the skin and is sometimes pulled loose from the bee when the sting is done. The barbed stinger can sometimes continue to pump poison into your skin after the bee has become unattached. The bee can usually only sting you once, but humans with very soft skin may be stung numerous times since the barbs don't always become attached. The smooth straight stinger of a wasp remains attached when the sting is complete. The wasp can sting numerous times.

What Type of Sting Hurts the Most?
It is occasionally asked "what type of bee or wasp sting hurts the most". It probably depends on how much venom is pumped into the sting area, or how sensitive that area of your body is but my worse sting was from the white-faced hornet. They not only try to sting you in the face, but do it with lots of speed and force.
Second place goes to the bumble bee. On two different occasions one can receive very painful stings from them while wearing a bee suit.
The least painful were from some small, early summer, yellow jackets which felt more like mosquito bites than stings cause plenty of itches but no pain.
Remove the Stinger
If the stinger is detached within 15 seconds, the harshness of the bee sting is significantly reduced. Be sure to remove or scrape the stinger out with a driver’s license or something similar. Grabbing on to a stinger with tweezers or your fingernails will thrust more venom into the sting area. A bee can usually only sting you once but wasps and yellow jackets can sting many times and do not leave a stinger.
