Depending on the type of stinging insect and the number of stings, the symptoms of the sting can range from very mild to very painful and even deadly.

Bees, wasps, and hornets are beneficial because many assist us in the pollination of crops as well as the biological control of many other insect populations. But the fact that bees, wasps and hornets can administer painful stings when their nests are disturbed makes many people understandably very wary of their presence.
