Best Answer

no, so they can sting multiple times, bees die after stinging but the stinger left behind continues to pup in venom, you need to remove the stinger.

Why do stingers fall off bees?

When bees sting, their stingers get trapped inside the skin because there are barbs sticking out that snags the skin. The bee will try to get away soon after, and since the stinger and bee are going opposite ways it rips. This injury is fatal and the bee dies withing several minutes. Wasps do not die when they sting; they just fly away.


Do bees bite?

No bees do not bite. They sting. Honey bees have barbed stingers and if they sting a person or animal the barbs in their stinger will stick. When they fly away their rear end is torn off and they die. Bees can sting other insects multiple times and their stinger won't stick because insect flesh is pulpy. Bumble bees (the large fuzzy bee) does not have a barbed stinger. However this particular bee has a very docile personality and is more likely to fly away than sting. Honey bees and bumble bees only eat pollen and nectar from flowers. Bees, Wasps and Hornets do have mouth parts called mandibles which they use for scraping, chewing food and building combs. Wasps and hornets can sting as well. Their stingers are not barbed and they can sting multiple times. These insects are omnivores - they eat all foods. Yellow jackets are very commonly seen when eating food outdoors. They enjoy sugary pop, hot dogs, tuna sandwiches, etc. Yellow jacket wasps tend to become more aggressive in the fall when their food supply is dwindling and they are hungry. Wasps and hornets will eat other insects, and can use their mouth parts to cut up the dead insect in pieces that they carry back to their hive to feed their young.


Do wasps lose their stingers after they sting you?

Yes. The stinger of a honeybee has barbs on it which is left when the bee stings and tries to pull away. The barbs are connected to the bee's abdomen so once the bee stings and pulls away, the barb is pulled, which pulls the bee's abdomen out as well and then the bee soon dies.

Are bumble bee the baddest bee?

It's not clear what "baddest" is supposed to mean here. Bumble bees are a group of related species in the genus Bombus. None of the species in this genus are particularly aggressive towards humans, though they can and will sting if disturbed or if their nest is threatened. Unlike honeybees, their sting is not barbed, so an individual bee can sting multiple times.For the most part, though, they leave humans alone as long as the humans leave them alone.Actually, the Killer Bee is the worst bee ever because their stingers never fall off, they are really aggressive, and they literally are willing to sting you to death, because if they sting you enough, which is about 100 times, you can die.
