Honey bees sting only once. These are the stingers that have the venom sack attached to it and the stinger detaches from the bee. A yellowjacket bee can sting many times as the stinger remains on the bee and can inject venom many times.

Wasps and hornets can sting multiple times. The different species of honey bees are distinguished from all other bee species (and virtually all other Hymenoptera) by the possession of small barbs on the sting, but these barbs are found only in the worker bees. The sting and associated venom sac are also modified so as to pull free of the body once lodged (autotomy), and the sting apparatus has its own musculature and ganglion which allow it to keep delivering venom once detached. The worker bee dies after the stinger is torn from its body.

A new queen will leave the hive when she is about five to seven days old on a mating flight. She mates on the wing with several drones (up to 20) then returns to the hive. She stores the sperm in a special organ called the spermetheca, and this will last her for the rest of her egg laying life. She will not mate again, and will not leave the hive again unless with a swarm.

A wasp can sting repeatedly, until it's exhausted.

However, a honeybee usually only stings once, since its barbed stinger tends to become detached and stuck into your skin.

A wasp doesn't sting, it bites with its' pincer mouth. It can do that until it dies of thirst.

There is not a limit to the amount of times the queen bee can sting. Unlike other bees her stinger is not barbed and can be used repeatedly.

if you put vinegar on wasp stings it will help because wasp stings have alkali in it and vinegar is a weak acid but bee stings are different they are acidic so if you put toothpaste on it it will help (try not to get bee stings mixed up with wasp stings because it will hurt even more if you put toothpaste on wasp stings or vinegar on bee stings)

How does toothpaste cure bee and wasp stings?

Toothpaste reduces the pain and swelling of a bee sting (because toothpaste is a base and the bee sting is acidic) Toothpaste doesn't help wasp stings because wasp stings and toothpaste are alkali. (However vinegar works well on wasp stings because vinegar is acidic)


Why do use vinegar to treat wasp stings?

It is a fallacy that you can neutralise wasp venom with vinegar. It came from people believing wasp venom was alkaline: in fact it isn't, it is chemically pretty well neutral. Vinegar is known to have some soothing action for certain skin conditions, but I think with wasp stings a lot of it is a placebo effect.
