The Schmidt Sting Pain Index: How Much Could You Take?

Does it hurt when a bee stings you? Would you like to know what sort of pain you are going through on a scale? An American entemologist has created a pain index, going from one to four.

From the article:
The Bald Faced Hornet is an imposter! Not for being on this list, of course, but because it isn't really a hornet at all.
