We went to the beach and a wasp crawled into my can of soda. Took a drink and it stung me on the roof of my mouth. Took my wife a few minutes to figure out what I was screaming about and then she pulled to stinger out for me. This was about 15 minutes after my daughter got stung on the tip of her tongue. Fun day at the beach!!

Stingers are modified ovipositors, or egg laying tubes. if you've ever been stung, it was by a female.

I have had a stinger from a bee but I am not afraid of them because when I was stung I was walking up a small hill and didn't know about the bees but when they fly around a table. they're curious about the food and if one person doesn't swat at the bees they don't usually sting anyon.

Mikhawk317 I am so sorry I have been stung On my arm and sat on a living wasp So painful For future Don't take sweet things to the beachside because that's what attracts wasps so prob take water Also but on but repellent so wasps don't come near you and your wife 😀😀😀

The difference is wasps sting and then can sting again and again. A bee stings you and then it dies.
