Only in rare cases will a bee sting without being seriously provoked and many species of bee don't sting at all.
The sting of a Honeybee (worker) is barbed, so it remains under your skin after it has stung you. When the bee attempts to fly off her intestines and some muscles are pulled out with the poison sac. The muscles make the poison pump into the skin.
