re: Do bumblebee stings hurt worse than a other bees or wasps, etc?

no

I pour a little hummingbird nectar into my palm and the bumblebees pollinating our Daranta come over, land on my palm, and have a little feast.

I have been stung by red wasps, honey bees, and bumble bees. In fact, I was stung by 11 bumble bees when I ran over their under ground nest with a mower. It felt like someone was hitting my back with their fist with their knuckles protruding. It was somewhat painful at impact but not that big of a deal. One red wasp was more painful.

We had a guy named John working at the farm when I was in h.s. He was a huge loafer and dumbass. He would sit in a chair drinking beer while his wife mowed. He was shredding with the tractor and ran over a bumble bee nest. Instead of moving the tractor away, he bailed off and ran, leaving the tractor in neutral. The tractor, with the shredder running, was over the nest. They were pissed. So, I got to to jump on the tractor, slap it into a faster gear, and GTFO as quickly as I could. I used a calm approach, and I did not get stung.

Im my experience yes
Never been hit by a hornet.

Also frick a horse and sand fly they also suck

yellow jacket sting will last a couple days, they are the devil

As someone who has been stung by every bee or hornet imaginable on my dad’s farm, hornets are the correct answer

The "murder hornet" definitely outhurts all other venomous flying insects.

The Hymenopteran pain quotient ranking are as follows:

1. Murder hornet
2. Killer Africanized bees (multiple stings)
2. Common hornet
3. Yellow jacket/ bumblebee tie
4. Common wasp (this ranking may be elevated as it often involves multiple wasp stings).
5. Common honeybee

I've been stung by a wasp when I was 8 years old and have managed to not get stung by anything since then by being a massive bitch and running from stinging insects.

The irrational fear is real.
