Nothing new here, but most bees have barbed stingers and the whole mechanism is torn from its abdomen after stinging.
The stinger continues to spasm and pump venom after you have pulled the bee off and stomped it 400 times into the ground, so remove the stinger by scraping it off, then proceed to stomp.
Hornets and wasps usually have smooth stingers so they jab, inject venom and pull out, usually to hit you somewhere else.
Best to kill the only the ones close to your activity areas and at night when they are home watching TV.
