Doctor told me that the venom will always remain in my body. And if stung again, could be just as serious. Or more so. So I don't like to mess with anything that looks like a bee, and stings me.
Based on the picture, you ran into paper wasps, family "Vespinae" which does include hornets and wasps.
No I'm sorry, Bee cannot be a generic term, there is just too much difference between the insect families. They are as different as a car and a battle tank. Both are vehicles, but with big differences.
I won't go into why because I already know that you don't care, but it may be very important to some. And we need to keep from confusing people.
I certainly do not blame you for not wanting to tangle with any flying, stinging insect. It could kill you.
Considering your last allergic reaction I would seriously ask my doctor about carrying an Epipen. (epinephrine auto injector) It could literally save your life if you are stung accidentally.
