No. After a bee has stung its victim, when it pulls away the barbed stinger pulls out of the bee's body together with with the venom sac and the associated structures. The bee dies from its injuries.
no once a bee loses it's stinger it can't grow back, but they can live without a stinger for a while.
no
Nope
A worker honey bee's sting is barbed, so after she has thrust it into the victim she cannot pull it back out. When the bee pulls away, the sting remains behind, together with the venom sac and often part of the intestine. The resulting damage is fatal to the bee. A queen bee has a smooth sting so she can withdraw the sting and re-use it. Drones (male bees) don't have a sting.
You are correct, it is called a stinger.[1] ---- Actually, stinger is the colloquial term. It is more properly called a sting. (See the related link)
The barb that is on a bee's stinger is like a razor blade. This will cause the stinger to remain locked into the skin when projected.
No.
Well, the difference is that the worker bees (female) and the queen bee have stingers, as the drones (male) do not. So, if a bee has a stinger, it is a female, and if it doesn't have a stinger, it is a male. Hope I helped! :)
no, once they lose it, it's gone and so is the animal itself. Just like how if a bee loses it's stinger and then dies.
of course not
The only stinging insect that loses it stinger when it stings is the honey bee worker. So, no, the hornet does not lose its stinger.
their stinger to opposing threats, note that once a bee has stung its victim the bee shall either lose it's stinger or suffer a quick death.
The stinger is on the back end of the bee, wasp, or hornet.

Getting a bee stinger out is not easy. The best way to get out a bee stinger would be with a pair of tweezers.
You don't. Unlike a honey bee, a wasp withdraws its stinger after stinging and a honey bee leaves its stinger stuck in your skin.
It has a stinger to jab at it's enemies. The problem with the stinger, is that if the bee stabs someone with it, the stinger attaches itself to the enemy and is torn from the bee's backside, which results in the death of the bee.
The difference between a pillow and a bee is a bee has a stinger on its back so it can sting the pillow. The pillow can do nothing, but hold your head.
No.
