There are bad years, and not so bad years. Prior to the 7-Feb-2009 fires, the worst fires were - Black Friday, 13-Jan-1939 claimed 71 lives. Ash Wednesday, 16-Feb-1983 claimed 72 lives. The 7-Feb-2009 fires have claimed 210 lives to date, and this is expected to increase as search parties comb the burnt out areas. Sometimes, it is not just the fires themselves which claim lives. In the 2009 bushfires, many people died in horrific multi-vehicle accidents because the smoke and ash reduced visibility to almost nil.

∙ 11y agoIt really isn't known exactly how many stings occur in a year, or how many people get stung by bees or bitten by wasps. This is only because people do not go to the hospital when stung or bitten by wasps unless they have an allergic reaction. Therefore it is pretty much impossible to know how many people get stung a year.

Does a wasp grow it's stinger back after it has stung?

Do bees look like wasps?
Bees and wasps do have a similar appearance. Bees are rounder, wasps are leaner. Wasps are covered in a smooth almost shiny exoskeleton. Bees on the other hand are covered in a layer of fuzz, this has to do with the feeding mechanism as wasps are predominantly carnivorous while bees feed on nectar.

Is the stinger always left in the skin?
No the stinger is not left in the skin from Wasps or Hornets. They just sting you and pull it out. Only Honey Bees leave a stinger in you. My family are beekeepers so I have been stung by many bees but since honey bees die when they loose their stinger they don't sting unless they feel threatened.
Do wasps eat hornets?
As a beekeeper I occasionally get stung by a bee and although they are initially painful I find that the effects of nettle stings last longer. Wasp stings are worse than both and although I haven't personally had a hornet sting, I have heard from those that have that they are the worst.
