Wasps keep stinging to protect their hive, the same reason that worker honeybees sting.

The wasp's stinger is smooth and barbless and is with drawn from the wound after the venom is delivered. This means that the singer is not left behind, as with bees, and the wasp will not die, leaving it free to sting multiple times. Wasps are generally considered more dangerous than bees, due to their ability to sting over and over. When their colony is under threat, the wasps tend to swam in defend. Even the slightest knock can trigger this behaviour and they are often annoyed at the vibrations of lawn mowers, foot steps and other movements near there nests. If a wasp does feel under threat they will sting over and over, until the attacker retreats or is otherwise indisposed.
