The barb is the stinger.
How does a honeybee protect itself?

Does a bumble bee have a buccal apparatus?
yes it does and it is called a stinger-licker.
Can wasp lose stingers in clothing and can stinger continue to sting?
No, a wasp cannot lose its stinger. However, honeybees do lose their stinger (and life) when they sting a person. And their stinger continues to pump venom into the victim after it has become detached from the bee. The stinger of the wasp is not barbed and can be used again and again, while the honeybee stinger is barbed and remains in victim's skin.
Why should you remove stingers carefully and quickly?
ANSWER:Because the stinger of the honeybee has barbs on it, it will stick and stay in your skin and it has a muscular contraction that continues to pump venom into your body. Remove it with a sharp knife or piece of paper. Don't use your fingers because this will squeeze the venom sac, injecting more venom. The honeybee stinger is the only one with barbs.You can scrape it out with a fingernail if a knife or paper isn't to hand.
Can a bee sting twice?
No, a honeybee cannot sting twice. When a honeybee stings, it leaves its stinger and venom sac embedded in the skin of its target, which ultimately leads to its death. However, some other types of bees, like bumblebees, can sting multiple times because their stingers are not barbed and do not get stuck.
Are honeybees harmful?
A sting is what makes a honeybee harmful, but they won't sting unless they are provoked. Only female honeybees have stingers, are workers, and take up most of the population in the hive. But when a worker honeybee stings someone, it's fatal for them: After a worker bee stings someone, their stinger is deeply attached to the person; then when the honeybee tries to fly away, their abdomen gets torn out and it kills them.
Can bees live after they sting someone?
When a honeybee stings a person, its stinger becomes lodged in the skin, causing the bee to die shortly after due to the stinger's barbed design and the subsequent injury to its abdomen. Other types of bees, such as bumblebees, may not die after stinging because their stingers are smooth and can easily be removed from skin.

What do you do if you get stung by a honeybee?
Do not pull the stinger out as this will inject more venom into the wound. Instead, gently scrape it out with the side of a dull clean blade, or a clean fingernail. Then gently wash the site and apply a topical pain reliever or antibiotic cream.
