Answer:
Magnesium hydroxide - Mg(OH)2 is the base present in the wasp's sting. But not only magnesium hydroxide, but some wasps may have different bases like histamine (which is responsible for the inflammation at the site of bite) , dopamine, etc;.. Each component of the sting has a different effect on the body.
Formic acid (HCOOH) also known as Methanoic acid is present in honeybee.
