I have been stung once by a yellow jacket in my adult years and numerous times by honey bees as a child because I loved going barefoot despite my mother’s admonitions. And I must disagree with your assessment. Yellow jacket was the worst.
Maybe individuals respond to the venom differently. Also, I’m a female so there are more pain receptors in the skin.
Curious, because the once incident I got nailed about 20 times by the yellow jackets... individually each sting didn’t seem as bad as a bee sting, but I’ve never gotten stung by more than one bee at a time.
I would agree. Hornets and yellow jackets hurt. I was moving some irrigation pipe and one flew up my shorts (it was hot and I was going commando) and stung me three times on the back of my scrotum. Not only did I get stung, I hate to smack myself in the nuts multiple time to kill the goddamn thing. Lots of swelling - bad day all around. Then my f’ing boss wants to know why I’m not hustling. Prick.
