How long does it take for a bee to die after stinging someone?
People don't usually die after being stung by a bee. If bee stings were fatal I would be dead quite a few times over by now.A small number of people are highly allergic to bee venom, and in the worst case the reaction can cause anaphylactic shock which can be fatal if not treated immediately.If, on the other hand, you mean how long does it take the bee to die then if she loses her sting this can take anything from a couple of hours up to about 24 hours.A bee that doesn't lose her sting won't die for any reason to do with having stung.
What happens to the stinger of a bumble bee after it stings you?
A bees stinger has a hook on the end, like a fish hook, so when the bee tries to get away after stinging someone it actually pulls the stinger and venom gland out of its body, mortally wounding the bee. A person should scrape the stinger out rather than trying to pinch it and pull it out, which pushes more venom in. The amount of reaction one has from a sting is entirely up to that persons body. It can range from a mild sting and itch to a full blown allergic reaction that closes the persons throat and can cause death.
If someone cut off a bee's head can it still sting you?
Yes, but only if you accidently touch its stinger. A bee that was dead for 2 days stung my finger when I picked it up. This is because I accidentally touched its stinger which in turn pressed it's gland and released some venom.
How can you tell if wasp stinger is still in?
If the sting is from a wasp, the stinger will not be left behind. A wasp's stinger is firmly attached to its body and is smooth so it can easily be withdrawn. A honey bee's sting is barbed, and is less firmly attached to its body, so when a bee stings then pulls away the sting can be left behind. It will be seen as a small (about 2mm) pale-coloured mass at the site of the sting. This should be scraped out as quickly as possible because it can continue to inject venom for up to two minutes after the bee has gone.

What should you do if your daughters eye is swollen from a bee sting?
First Aid For Bee stings As long as the victim is not allergic to bee or wasp venom these are the recommended treatments. First you need to find and remove the stinger. The bee leaves its stinger in its victim and it had a venom sac attached which will continue to release venom. Look for a raised welt (red spot) and using a magnifying glass if needed locate the tiny black dot in the center of the welt. Do not use tweezers or try to pull the stinger out with your fingers. You will end up squeezing more venom out of the sac and into your body. Use a hard flat object like a credit card pull to scrape the stinger from the wound. When you have removed the stinger , wash the wound with gentle soap and water or use an alcohol swap to cleanse the area. Apply a cold compress like wet wash cloth or ice cubes in a wet cloth, to the area. There are home remedies like a cold wet tea bag (tannin has drawing action) Baking soda paste(not good around the eyes) but benadryl creme or like product will work best. Apply cold until swelling reduces.
Do manta rays have a stinger?
No they do not. Sting rays only have stingers. One thing about stingrays is their stinger looks like a big fingernail and comes off from it's tail. IT does grow back. If you get a chance to look at a ray up close then that is one way to tell them apart.

You got stung by a bee on your scalp The next day you have a painful bump behind your right ear and a painful bump about one inch below it on your neck Could this be related to the bee sting?
I just got stung by a hornet yesturday on the scalp and the stinger remained in my scalp for over an hour. First I noticed my bicep on the side where my scalp was stung began aching and of coarse the the area on my head continued to sting and ache even after the stinger was finally removed. The person who pulled the stinger out said there was a 1 inch bump and it was quite red. Later, about 30 minutes later, I started to have a very slight problem swallowing, but nothing drastic. Today, the area is still itchy and still has a bump in the area of the stinger. What's probably happening is your lymph nodes swelling up. Lymph nodes swell up when there is a bacteria in you body and they swell up because if it.
