A bee stinger is barbed and once inserted into its target, the bee can not retract it so as the bee leaves the victim it leaves the stinger and a bit of its insides behind (the bee will eventually die as a result). The stinger continues to inject venom after the bee departs and should be removed without squeezing it.
A wasp stinger is not barbed and the wasp can therefore insert the stinger into the target several times and at different sites. The wasp survives the process.
Both insect inject a toxic fluid containing a complex protein.
Wasps stings are an Alkaline. pH 8-14
Bee stings are Acid. pH 6-1
A wasp sting can be cured by an acid (vinegar) because the acid neutralizes (balances) the alkali. pH 7
A bee sting can be cured by an alkali (bicarbonate soda) because it neutralizes (balances) the acid. pH7
In the UK at least, wasp stings are alkaline, so you can help treat the sting with a weak acid such as vinegar. But don't use strong acid!!
Bees generally have an acidic sting venom.

A bee's stinger is barbed - when they sting you, the stinger lodges in your skin. After they sting you, they die as internal organs get torn when they leave the stinger in the stingee.
A wasp's stinger is not barbed - which allows a wasp to sting multiple times without dying.
They are completely different venoms; wasp-stings contain mainly acids while beestings use other poisons.
porque me da la gana
The nature of the bee and wasp sting is that they are usually inflammatory and acidic.
Well, wasp sting is more poisonous than bee sting
A bee or wasp might STING.
sting
=== === === ===
the wasp sting is full of venom which is alkaline
yes it does like a bee sting
It doesn't.
The self-defensive sinking of a stinger, with the resulting death of the bee, not the wasp, into skin defines a bee or a wasp sting.
A bee sting is acidic and a wasp sting is alkaline so that makes them have acid and alkali in them....!
A bee does not sting itself, but a wasp sometimes will. Bees will sting other bees if they are fighting.
