I didn't have the bad luck to be stung by those black and white wasp but my
son, who got stung by both the black and white wasps and the yellow ones on
the same day recently while moving stacks of woods cut last Fall (for a
total of six stings) reported that the black and white wasps were by far the
most painful...

I myself got stung once recently by a yellow wasp living in the ground while
mowing a neglected section of the orchard with an ordinary lawn mower. I
quickly abandonned the mower and it was quite an ordeal to retrieve it
later, still running and still under attack from a cloud of angry wasps.
