Wasps can sting several times, but that doesn't cause them to be more aggressive than bees. Hornets are actually the least aggressive. (NB I'm talking about their likelihood of stinging humans here--wasps are obviously insect predators.)
Even bees aren't very aggressive--you just have to watch yourself around their hives.
All will sting when alarmed, e.g. by people hitting out at them, or accidentally squeezing or crushing them.
