Never heard of people not believing in wasp stings.
I got stung twice as a kid, now I shreek like a girl whenever one comes near me.
I was chased around the car park at work last week by a wasp.
They can smell fear.

What gives me the impression that you might be a gay entomologist ? |

A bee dies after stinging somebody, and so will only do so as a last resort or to protect the hive.
Wasp's however can sting to their hearts content and have no adverse affects therefore they are a tad more 'trigger happy. However even a wasp has the basic instinct that if it pisses a big animal of by stinging it, then there is a good chance that that big animal will try to kill it and so usually wont bother unless you really piss it off a bit.

Not strictly true BR. Otherwise any bee-keeper would lose half the colony when collecting honey. A bee will only sting (and die) to protect itself or the queen. |

Erm...no. By saying ''protect the hive'' implies that a bee will die to protect its colleagues. It won't. It will only sacrifice itself in the interests of self-preservation and allegiance to its queen. |

Do the bees have a national anthem for the queen?
