The stinging apparatus is located in the abdomen of the female insect and consists of a sac containing venom and a barbed stinger. When a bee stings, the apparatus becomes detached from the insect leading to its death, hence bees can only sting once. However wasps can sting multiple times and do not leave their sting behind in the skin. A sting from a wasp causes a sharp pain that usually lasts for a few seconds.
