Sort of true.
If you can trap a wasp in the freezer the metabolism will slow to the point where the insect cannot move. It is probably not frozen, just immobile.
If you then tie a thread (not string) around the "wasp waist" and allow the wasp to warm up to room temperature, you will have a "leash" on the insect.
If you attempt this, do be careful, because there is nothing from preventing the wasp from "dive bombing" along the string and stinging you.
By the way, a bumble bee is very very much more impressive. Just remember that harming other life forms will bring its own consequences.

That sounds like a wasp bite waiting to happen.

Yes, as long as you do not freeze it too long; then it will just die. you only freeze it for a few minutes to "put it to sleep." It was done in either the first Jackass movie or one of the CKY videos.
