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

never been stung by a bumblebee

Paper wasp stings effect me more than red wasps. I was fishing the marsh one time and one tagged me on the top of the foot. My foot was still hurting like hell 12 hours later

The wing less hornet, also know as a velvet ant.

I like a dumb arse trying to show off picked one up and that thing hurt 100 times more than any sting I have ever had.

I've been stung by everything including women.

Red wasps are worse than yellow jackets and bees imo

Much worse.
Couple years ago I got tagged by 7 yellowjackets, including on the neck and throat. Not nearly as bad as one of those big red wasps.
And non-venomous snake bites don’t hurt nearly as bad as a bee/wasp.

Been stung and bit by most of the critters that bit and sting in the south.
I closed a flower on a bumble bee and that fricker tagged me through the petals. I say they worse than the red wasp, guinea wasp or any wasp. Then yellow jackets and then Hornets.
But something that trumps them all is a stinging caterpillar and its not even close. Got popped while I was climbing a pear tree. Never been popped by something like that again. I still feel that bitch

Having been bitten by most of them, hornets were the worst.

Then, a week ago, I had a centipede bite. It hurt so bad at first that it took my breath away. And then it kept on hurting as I ran cold water over it and grabbed baking soda.

The soda worked slowly and the sting hurt less, but it was the longest sharpest sting I've ever known.

The thing with yellow jacket stings is they last for days. It feels like you had a ten penny nail removed and it’s still bruised and tender.

Been eat up with all kinds my whole life it seems but don't recall ever pissing off a bumble bee enough to get me

Had a hornet crawl into my boxers and sting me on the inside of my thigh close to my crotch while sleeping at an old lake cabin & thought I had been shot. Was by far the worst to me & swelled my leg up for quite a while

Was trimming hedges years back and unknowingly stood on top of a large ground nest of yellow jackets that immediately commenced to whooping my arse. For some reason they seem to always target me in the temple or near the eyes. Dropped the hedge trimmers while still running after I had just filled it up with fuel right next to the nest. They chased me down the street like Kamikazes hellbent on attacking. Only way I found to calm them down enough to get my trimmers back was to use the water hose to drop some rain on them.

Ran over another nest cutting grass and somehow only got stung by one but it was directly into my left jugular. Felt the warmest burn from the venom entering my bloodstream

Red wasps seem to be a more painful singular sting than the yellow jackets to me but the yellow jackets are more than likely going to be numerous when they get me

I've got a dime-sized hole on the outside of my lower leg from a Brown Recluse spider. Ate the flesh away and hurt like bloody hell.

Horseflies can go to hell too

Ground hornets are the worst. I had four or five hit me in the back of the head and neck while cutting grass one day and it felt like hot pokers for quite a while.
