      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.
