If you are interested in a direct comparison of the pain caused by the sting of a bee, wasp or hornet, we recommend a study of the American biologist Justin Schmidt who tested on himself how uncomfortable the bites of each insect are. He has rated the severity of the pain on a scale of 1 to 4, where the value 1 indicates the least pain, for example, if a sting has scarcely injured the human skin.
The value 4, on the other hand, indicates the strongest stings, which can cause cramps even in resistant people. The values for hornets of the genus Dolichovespula maculata, which occurs only in America are in the same order of magnitude as in wasps. Well, we do not know really, but it is an interesting test. The decisive factor is when you get stung — the bees are most active in spring and early summer, the hornets and wasps in late summer and autumn. If you are normally not allergic, a sting should not be dangerous for you.
Only when you gent stung in a particularly sensitive area, for example tongue or neck, where there is a risk of suffocation, we recommend that you seek medical help quickly. A common reaction to stings is increased pain in the hurt area, itching, a reddened skin and swelling.
These symptoms should be gone within a period of two days to one week. An allergic reaction lasts longer than a day. The stung area may be severely swollen and the symptoms may be accompanied by abdominal pain, hives, diarrhea or dizziness. Those who suffer from allergies and have been stung by a bee, a wasp or a hornet, should consult a doctor immediately to prevent a shock.
If you have been stung by a bee, wasp or hornet, you could be easily poisoned as these stings contain venom. For actual poisoning of the organism, however, these are too small quantities. When talking about a truly lethal dose, up to bee stings are mentioned in an adult human and about 50 in a child. After such an attack, the bee stings can lead to kidney failure.
If you have been stung by a bee, it is important to pull the sting out quickly but carefully. The sting is still a living organism and penetrates ever deeper into the skin. It is important not to squeeze it because it contains poison that would spread even more into your body. Scrape quickly the sting with your fingernail and try not to press the poisonous sack on its end.
Velvet ants are actually wingless female wasps, and their fearsome stinger the longest, relative to body size, of any stinging insect is just one of many defense mechanisms.

Like walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch nail embedded in your heel. Tough enough to attack, paralyze, and drag a hairy, poisonous tarantula up to eight times its weight, the two-inch-long tarantula hawk rarely stings without provocation.
