About Wasps
Paper wasps have a smooth stinger and can sting repeatedly unlike honeybees which have a barbed stinger and can only sting once.  Fortunately, paper wasps are not as aggressive as yellowjackets and will generally only attack if they feel threatened or believe their nest to be in danger.
