Bees and wasps sting to defend themselves or their colony.
Their colonies are often too close for comfort. Nests often are found behind shutters, soffits, and in ornamental bushes.
Stinging involves the injection of protein venom that causes pain and other reactions. Wasps and bumblebees can sting more than once because they are able to pull out their stinger without injury to themselves. Carpenter bees do not sting but can wreak havoc on woodwork including wood siding, decks, and fascia boards.
