I believe the answer is:
stings
'painful wounds made by insects' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for stings that I've seen before include "Confidence tricks by the bee?" , "Swindles - or wasp-wounds" , "Hurts like bee or wasp" , "Bee bites" , "Intense burning pains" .)
