Not if the bee loses its sting in the process of stinging an animal or a person. As the sting is pulled out of the bee's body it causes internal injuries from which the bee will die within a matter of hours.

There are some species of bee which are stingless, and in the other species only female bees have a sting because the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg-laying tube), an organ that males do not have.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoYes. The bees that most people recognise are European honey bees, but there are thousands of other species of bees, including many that are social bees, living in hives. These native bees are often stingless. They live in tropical and semitropical countries in Asia, Australia and Central and South America.

∙ 9y agoThere are types of bees called meliponines. While these bees are not completely without stingers, they are small and therefore cannot be used for defense.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, one example I know of is the masonry bee.
Also, only females have stings. No male bee does.

What type of bees sting you?
The females (queen and workers) of most varieties of bee can sting. No males (drones) of any species can sting because the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube) -- an organ that males do not have.There are a few varieties of bee that do not have stings at all. These are mostly solitary bees.
Is chlorine good for a bee sting?
NO NO NO. Do not put chlorine on any open wound or abrasion. It is caustic and may make the sting WORSE. Try a slice of onion or a touch-me-not leaf, or any over the counter cream for insect stings.
Do honey bees sting each other?
It can happen. They won't sting members of their own colony, but if bees from another colony try to enter the hive to steal the honey the guard bees will sting them. A newly-emerged queen will go around the hive looking for other queen cells. If she finds any she will sting through the cell walls to kill the developing queen inside them.
Do stingrays sting like bees?
I can't see any circumstance where they would ever meet.
Why are killer bees dangirous?
They are more dangerous, not because their sting is any worse than that of any other honey bee, but because they are more defensive so are far more ready to sting, and tend to sting in larger numbers.
Are nurse bees the friendliest bees?
The friendliest bees in a hive are the drones (males), because they don't have a stinger. Otherwise, any bee will sting something close to her if she feels it is threatening her colony. However, nurse bees rarely leave the hive, and the ones that are most likely to sting you when you get too close to their home are the older bees whose job it is to defend the hive.
Do bees regrow stingers?
No. In fact the loss of the sting causes other injuries and any bee that loses its sting will almost certainly die within a matter of hours.
What are killer bees really like?
They look just like any other honey bees. The only difference is that they are more defensive, so are more ready to sting.
Do bees only sting people?
Stinging is the self defense mechanism and can be used against any attacking animal.
How can you get over your fear of bees at night in my dreams?
I'm no expert by any means, but it might help to know that bees only sting you if they feel that they are about to die, as if they sting you, as soon as they sting, they start dying. they only do this because they realise that they will die anyway, and want to harm their 'attacker' because they will die anyway. if you just leave them alone, and don't make wild arm gestures to scare them, they will not sting you. also before you go to bed you could listen to music to get the idea of bees out of your head. it works for me
