Flying, sheltering and stinging are ways in which honey bees avoid predators.

Specifically, the insect in question (Apis spp) can respond to predation in one of three ways. A honey bee may choose to either out-fly a predator or seek shelter in a leafy hideaway or the hive. A third option would be standing ground to wield a fearsome stinger.

Bees protect themselves by building a strong hive and defending it with their stingers. They don't so much as protect the individual bees as they do protect the entire colony. Each bee is ready to give their life to protect the other bees.

Bees avoid predators mostly by flying and also by being recognized for their sting. However, there are birds that can eat bees and many Spiders trap bees in their webs for food.
