Is there a difference between a wasp sting and a bee sting?

The sting of a bee serves only to protect, and not the bee itself, but the entire hive. A bee stings only once, since its sting has jagged edges and, after an attack, remains in the body of a stung animal or person. The stinging bee dies.
The sting of the wasp is smooth, the wasp uses it repeatedly not only for protection, but also for obtaining food for itself and future larvae. Wasps are predatory insects. With the help of a sting, wasps inject poison and paralyze their prey – caterpillars and other insects.
