No, bumblebee stings are like mosquito bites

Yellowjacket/Wasp stings are like satan stabbing you with a boiling ice pick

I was stung by a jack arse wasp last summer and was sick for two days. I hate those motherfrickers and supposedly I’m not allergic.

bad to worse

YJ
Bee
Wasp

Never stung by a hornet. Knew a guy who was, he said the pain was unbearable.

When I was around 11 I was playing football w/some kids. The ball rolled into some bushes and a guy went into get it. He accidentally disturbed a huge YJ nest. We all got stung -- me 5 or 6 times -- but he was stung around 70 times, and had to go to the emergency room.

A single bumble bee can sting you multiple times

I can only speak from personal experience. My wasp sting was worse than any bee sting I've ever had.

But apparently different types of bees have different levels of sting, some more painful than others
