The bees are fine, the wasps are shitty. Especially if you're allergic to their stings.
If you're allergic to bees does that make you allergic to wasps too?
Possibly. People that have allergic reactions to venomous stings can see it for multiple insects, though it's not common. The only way to know is testing, by whacking a stick on the nests of different wasp species and taking note if any make you anaphylactic. If you're all good, you can be more assured it's just bees, but nothing's 100% certain until you aggravate insects with a stick and test.
No, i dont think so. They are different. I think wasp stings are slightly alkaline, and bee stings are acidic. They need different treatments.
So wasps inject you with stuff too? I always figured it was just bees since they leave their butt behind. Wasps can sting multiple so they hold on to their butt and made me assume they just stabbed you but didn't inject anything
I looked this up after typing a response to make sure I wasn't mistaken, but its only honey bees that die when they string you
From google "First off, male bees in any species cannot sting as only females have the bodily anatomy to do so. Secondly, only the honey bee can die after stinging, this is due to the honey bee's stinger. A honey bees stinger is made up of two barbed lancets, meaning when they sting, the stinger cannot be pulled out again."
I didnt realise that the worker bees were female! Male bees are good for nothing but breeding. They cant even sting. Bloody layabouts!
I recently read somewhere that it's actually just very few bee species that die after stinging, among them honeybees. They have a barbed stinger that gets stuck while most bees have flat stingers and can sting repeatedly.
¿BEES?
GOB's not on board.
Grand Old Bee's?
