Are hornets and wasps dangerous?
Let’s face it: many wasps, bees, and hornets look similar. Without the help of a professional, it can be hard to identify what species of stinging insect you are dealing with. While all possess a stinger, some species are much more aggressive than others. Although bumblebees can sting, it is very rare for them to do so unless they are directly threatened.
Certain hornets and yellow jackets, however, are easily provoked and will sting in defense or sting multiple times.
