No, the queen won't sting workers. The only thing a queen will directly attack is another queen.
No. A honey bee queen can only sting other bees - not people.
yes
Yes, Queen honeybees have a smooth stinger, and can sting many times. However, a queen will rarely sting a person, for several reasons. 1) her job is not to defend the hive (the workers do that, and do it well, indeed.) and 2) her abdomen is so full of eggs, that she has difficulty curving it down to implant the sting. The primary use of her sting is to kill other, rival queens in the hive.
no. it will die. the sting on you will throb
A queen bee can sting, but she reserves her sting for other queens. As she generally never leaves the hive, the only persons who could be stung by a queen would be the beekeepers, but in all the years I have been beekeeping I have never heard of anyone being stung by a queen.
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.
queen bees rarely sting, unless their hive is nowhere to help her. because if she does sting, the lower half of her body with fall off & she'll die, thus her hive will have no queen.
yes it hurts worse than a bee sting
Queen bees have the same ability to sting as worker bees. The big difference is that the queen's sting is smooth, so she can withdraw it easily.Read more: Do_queen_bees_have_poison
No, male bees (drones) do not have a sting. Worker bees (all female) have a barbed sting which is left behind when the bee stings. The bee will then die. The queen bee has a smooth sting which she can withdraw, so she is able to sting more than once.
It depends on whether you have an allergic reaction to bee stings or not. If you are, a sting could kill, but it's very unlikely. That said, only workers can sting, as drones and queens don't have stingers. A stinger is a modified ovipositor (egg-laying tube), so obviously the drones (males) wouldn't have one. The queen uses hers to actually lay eggs, and has no venom. That just leaves the sterile female workers. Those do make up the main part of the population and are pretty much the only ones to leave the hive, so.
Wasps,hornets, honey-bees, bumble bees, killer bees.Only the females (queen and workers) can sting, the males (drones) can't.
