Yes, wasps leave their stinger when they sting a target, unlike bees which can sting multiple times. This can pose a greater risk as the venom sac attached to the stinger continues to pump venom into the victim.
No, only one.
Unlike most other bees, the honey bee worker has a barbed sting. Because of this, when a bee stings a human (or any other vertebrate for that matter) the soft, elastic flesh closes around the sting and it is impossible for the bee to pull it out. When the bee pulls away the sting is pulled out from the bee's body, together with the venom sac and the muscles that pump the venom through the sting. The bee may also lose part of its intestines. As a result of this the bee will eventually die, but even before it does it is incapable of stinging again.
Yes, some honey bees have stingers even though no, others do not. Honey bees (Apis spp) lack stingers if they are males, known as drones. Females possess barbed stingers as sterile worker bees and smooth stingers as queen bees.
No, they have a smooth sting which they can easily withdraw. They can also sting more than once.
No, at least one variety of yellowjacket wasp can leave its sting behind.
Wasps have a smooth sting and can withdraw it easily, so they don't leave it behind.

Is the stinger always left in the skin?
No the stinger is not left in the skin from Wasps or Hornets. They just sting you and pull it out. Only Honey Bees leave a stinger in you. My family are beekeepers so I have been stung by many bees but since honey bees die when they loose their stinger they don't sting unless they feel threatened.

What color is a wasps stinger?
There are many varieties of wasps around the world. This makes it possible for different types of wasps to have different color stingers. The most common colors that are found for wasp stingers include black, brown, and red.
Do gall wasps sting?

How does the wasp protect itself from its enemies?
Wasps protect themselves from enemies by using their stinger to defend against predators and threats. They can also release pheromones to signal for help from other wasps in the colony when under attack. Additionally, some species of wasps have warning coloration to deter potential threats.

What draws a wasp stinger out?
A wasp's stinger (or a bee's stinger for that matter), is actually called an ovipositor. It is a hollow and somewhat pointed tube used by the wasp or bee to lay eggs. However, it is also used as a 'defensive' weapon when the wasp or bee stings something or someone. There is a small venom sack attached to it. So, the wasp or bee has a choice on what to eject from the "stinger," either an egg, or venom, depending upon how the bee or wasp is using its "stinger."The stinger is usually at or near the rear of the insect. So, it is not in the mouth of the wasp or bee. When a person is stung, they are poked by the stinger, not bit.Since the "stinger" is actually designed to lay or deposit eggs, only female bees and wasps can sting. Male bees and wasps cannot sting because they have no stinger and cannot lay eggs. The stinger can vary in length, depending upon the wasp or bee species and may be quite small in some species, a few tenths' of a millimeter long, or may be quite long, over 10 centimeters, again, depending upon the wasp or bee species. Some wasps can sting, some cannot sting (or perhaps do not know to sting). However, I have been stung by wasps that are very small, 1 - 2 mm, and wasps that are large. And I have not been stung by larger wasps with very large stingers. So, the wasp's size is not a very good indicator of whether a wasp will sting or not.If the stinger is jagged or barbed, like a worker honey bee, the stinger is torn out of the bee when it stings someone, and thus kills the bee. When the stinger is smooth, like for many wasp species, the stinger does not pull out, and the wasp can sting as many times as it wants or feels the need to do.
