Question

Does a bee die after it stings?

Answer 1

I have been keeping bees for years now so i feel pretty confident about answering this one.  A bees stinger is barbed and will stick in any mammals skin.  as the bee flys away its insides stay with the stinger including the poison sack that will pump venom for several seconds. that's why you don't twezz to remove. A bee however can sting another insect or bee and live as the stinger will not stick  

Answer 2

Yes. When a bee stings you it's tail falls off. Unfortunately that leaves you with plucking it out! >.< Wasps sting as many times as they want so... If you ever gert stung, pray it's by a bee...

Answer 3

Yeah well when a bee stings you its whole abdomen comes out with the stinger!

Answer 4

a bee always die, but a wasp doesnt

but the problem with bees is that it hurts more cause they leave the sting inside of you soo it hurts more and you need to get it out, soo bees always die since they loose the sting

wasps  take the sting out soo they dont die

Answer 5

Yep, I'm pretty sure it does,

because its stinger falls out.

and if its stinger falls out, it dies;]

although,

that does leave you to pluck out the stinger:[[[[

Answer 6

Yes, pretty much all the time.  A honey bees stinger is barbed (like a fish  hook) and gets stuck when it stings.  When they go to fly away, the stinger is torn from their torso thus leaving a huge gaping hole.

Answer 7

Almost always. If they don't leave the stinger inside, they can still live after stinging, but most often they end up losing the stinger and die within a few minutes.
