It's Bee's that die after losing their sting... Mr Waspy will come back for more (and more)!

Not guaranteed actually. I think youre confusing that wih a bee which leaves its sting and then dies. A wasp doesnt as it injects a poison using its
sting.

its only Bee drones (worker bees) that can only sting you once, bumble bees can sting you as many times as you like!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Speaking from a swarm victims point of view ......they all hurt.....
I got stung as a kid and my temple/face had 180 stings in it...that was when they stopped counting
Oh to give me a shot of adrenalin to keep my heart going.....
Scrape the sting out with a credit card....and not as they did to me with tweezers

I think that's the winner of the "ouch" stakes here, but I imagine the hospital would rather use tweezers than a manky credit
card...

Standard operating procedure though is to get a pair of scissors and "flick" it out with the edge of the blade. Using tweezers is bad
because you squeeze the venom sack, making the sting worse than it needed to be.
