New England is home to over 100 species of wasps. The most common types include Paper Wasps, Yellowjackets, Cicada Killers, and Mud Daubers. Paper Wasps exhibit moderate aggression, while Yellowjackets show high levels of aggression and have the capability to sting multiple times.

New England has few true hornets, mainly the Bald-Faced Hornet and the European Hornet. Both can be aggressive and have very painful stings.

Massachusetts designated the Honey Bee as the state insect in 1974. Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, and various other bees native to New England play an essential role in pollination. Typically, these bees exhibit a gentle nature and will only sting if provoked. Carpenter Bees, while also generally docile, pose a risk to untreated and unpainted wood by boring holes to create nests.

Understanding the habits and risks associated with different stinging insects is crucial for effective control and prevention.
