Yellow jackets and wasps are a push as far as I'm concerned. Just usually with yellow jackets, reinforcements are quick to arrive. I've fortunately never been stung by a hornet so can't offer an opinion there. But the absolute worst pain I've ever felt from a stinging insect is bumblebees. For those who aren't familiar with them, they look like carpenter bees but nest in the ground like yellow jackets. I was running a bulldozer, tearing down an old levee and disturbed a nest. I managed to get the tractor out of gear and hauled arse on foot. Still got hit a couple times and it felt like getting a penicillin shot. A swarm of those bastards chased me for a good 150-200 yards to the truck.
