Is venom from dead honeybees dangerous?

Question

Is the venom still dangerous? What if an animal ate it?

Answer 1

Yes. Even though the bee is dead, its stinger will still release poison if you get poked by it.

Answer 2

The sting has barbs on it, and if it is not immediately removed, the reflex action of the muscles attached to the sting drive it deeper and deeper into the skin. This gives more time for the discharge of poison from the poison sac. The pain from the sting is increased by the discharge of toxin.

So,venom is dangerous.

Many animals eat honeybees.Skunks will eat honeybees. They will scratch on the hive entrance at night and eat the bees as they come out to investigate.Bears love bees and bee brood.
