Do bees sting you even if you stand still?
some bees are nasty enough to sting but most do not, they will just find another moving target
Why do bees sting in peoples ears?
A bee will sting any bit of exposed flesh that it can find. However, as a general rule, bees only sting if they feel that they are threatened in some way.
Why do girls find tiny bees and spiders scary?
It's not the size of the animal. It's the pain of the sting.
Do queen ants sting or bite?
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.
What are African bees?
I think you mean 'Africanized bees'. In the 1950s there was a research project in south-eastern Brazil where they were trying to find a variety or hybrid of honey bees that would be more suitable for a tropical climate. In 1959 some Tanzanian honey bee queens (apis mellifera scutella) were accidentally released. These bred with local Western honey bee drones to produce the Africanized strain -- the so-called 'killer bees'. Their descendants have spread as far north as the southern United States, and as far south as the limits of tropical South America. They are not so tolerant of cold weather as the Western honey bee, and this may limit their spread. Africanized bees are not a good strain for a beekeeper to have because they tend to be less docile and sting more readily. When a bee stings it releases an alarm pheromone at the site of the sting. Africanized bees are also more likely to sting in response to the pheromone, so one sting can lead to more. This is why the sensationalist media coined the term 'killer' bees. The sting of an Africanized bee is, in fact, no different to the sting of a Western honey bee.
Do wasps eat hornets?
As a beekeeper I occasionally get stung by a bee and although they are initially painful I find that the effects of nettle stings last longer. Wasp stings are worse than both and although I haven't personally had a hornet sting, I have heard from those that have that they are the worst.
Can a bee sting you in a vein?
idk i want to find out if they can sting you in a vein and inject their venom directly into your bloodstream and what would be the counsquences of that
How do you catch bees in winter?

Can you squash a bee or is it rude?
I suggest that you do not squash any bees because they are very important. Bees pollinate flowers, and the flowers bear fruit. then animals eat the fruit. then larger animals eat the fruit-eating ones. If there were no bees, the flowers would die because there would be no insects to pollinate them (no fruit, no seeds). The fruit eating animals would die because there would be no fruit. and the animals who eat those animals would also die. Bees also pollinate the blossoms apple trees, cherry trees, peach trees, etc. So if there are no bees then no apple juice for us. or cherry pie. or peach ice cream. Also, if the bees are honeybees, you will have no honey. Also, bees are living things as well. Imagine if someone took a huge fly swatter and smashed you against the wall. Then, you would be squashed and you would be dead and everyone who loves you would cry. If you squish a bee, you will also have to worry about cleaning up its blood (which is clear, by the way, bees do not have red blood; which can be bad because you can't see it - then there will be bee blood on your wall till the end of time) and guts and crushed body parts and wings and eyes and stuff. If you happen to find a bee in your house, let it out the window or door. If there's a lot of bees, you might have a hive inside your house. If that happens don't exterminate them. Bees do not want to hurt people. They only sting if you threaten their nests. I don't know about other bees, but honeybees are different from hornets because hornets can sting you multiple times. When a honeybee stings, it can't pull out the barbed stinger. So leaves it behind, along with part of its digestive tract, muscles and nerves. Then it dies (well if your guts got pulled out, you would die too). Also, only female worker bees sting. If it has stung you and it's not dead... it's probably a wasp, yellow jacket, or hornet.
Are there blind bees?
NO they are not they can choose where to land but think about it if they were blind how would they no where to find flowers
What is one difference between male bees and female bees?
The male's eyes are so much larger because they need to find a potential queen in flight. Second, males are slightly larger than a female worker bee. Third, look very closely at the segmented portion of the bee's antennae.
Is it legal to kill bees?
Yes it is, but why would you? It's ignorance and fear of bees. Read about them. Without bees there would be no pollination and without that there would be no grown foods. Nostradamus said that when all the bees were gone it would be the end of time. Find a beekeeper to remove the bees. Bees are not dangerous unless you accidentally step on one. I've had bees crawl on me when I've been gardening and I don't discourage them from being around my flower beds In fact, when I plan my garden I find plants that attract bees like the Spanish Lavender to get the bee population rejuvenated again. Scientists are concerned and at a loss regarding so many dead bees. Beekeepers are going to their hives and finding hundreds of dead bees, yet they don't know what is causing it. Get the beekeeper (he/she will charge you nothing and be happy to get the beehive.)
