AB Venomous  insects  are  grouped  into  four  families  of  the  order  Hymenoptera:  Apidae  (honeybees),  Bombidae  (bumblebees),  Vespidae  (wasps,  hornets,  and  yellow  jackets),  and  Formicidae  (ants).  With  the  exception  of  Vespidae,  most  Hymenoptera  sting  only  when  disturbed  or  when  the  hive  is  threatened.  Yellow  jackets  and  other  vespids  may  attack  without  provocation  and  are  the  most  common  cause  of  insect-induced  anaphylactic  reactions.
