Wasp -see also Bee

Wasp -see also Bee

A great many bees and wasps can inflict a severe sting.  The stinging apparatus is the modified ovipositor, which is used to inject venom into the victim's flesh.  Ants and wasps are capable of extracting their stings after use and although honey bees try to do so, they rarely succeed as the barbs on the lancets hold the sting so firmly that the bee must tear itself away in order to escape.
