Causes of Stings, insect

Wasps and bees sting as a defence mechanism and do so to warn you off if you have disturbed them. Unless you have an allergic reaction, a sting is not harmful, just painful and itchy.

If you are allergic to wasp sting, you are not likely to be allergic to bee sting as well.
