Sunjay Kapur, friend of Prince William and ex-husband of Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor, reportedly died of anaphylactic shock after being stung by a bee during a polo match in Windsor, England.
The conversation is literally around bees and how many times they can sting you before they die, and you bring up yellow jackets. If you knew they weren’t bees why did you bring them up?
They are both part of the hymenoptera order. They are not the same, but they are related evolutionarily and thus can still be relevant to discussion about bees.
They’re not relevant to this discussion, at all. In general, when a bee stings a person they die because their stinger along with their insides rip out of them. This doesn’t happen with wasps, including yellow jackets. They can and will sting over and over.

Because their stingers are smooth, like bumblebees and carpenter bees. Are those not related either??
Do they die when they sting humans once? No? Then they’re not relevant lol.
One of the parent comments is correcting someone about not all bees dying when they sting, holy moly please learn to read.
Yeh, and like I said - yellow jackets are not bees lol. They’re wasps. Irrelevant.
Sure, take the Unidan stubborn pedantry route lol.
