Obviously the error was choosing bee DNA.

Wasps can sting multiple times.

Wasp doesn’t suck, it sting.

For real though, wasp get its bad reputation because of some species, otherwise it’s actually very beneficial to the ecosystem.

The vast majority of bee species don’t die when they sting you (though it does seem like our intrepid scientist went for a classic European honey bee)

Protip: Don’t use a honeybee, which has a barbed stinger. Go for one with a smooth stinger instead.
