Best Answer

A honey bee queens has a sting that is smooth like a hypodermic needle so it can be removed after stinging.

A honey bee worker s has a sting that is barbed like a fishing hook so it stays embedded after stinging.

However, you do not need to worry about being stung by a queen bee since they only use them against other queens.

A queen bee's sting is smooth, not barbed, so if you are stung by a queen she would not lose her sting and would not die.
Having said that, it is extremely unlikely that you would ever be stung by a queen bee because, other than for their mating flight or with a swarm, queens never leave the hive.

A worker bee has a barbed stinger so when it stings the stinger, the poison sack, and part of the bees intestines are pulled out causing the bee to die. This doesn't happen to the queen bee because her stinger is smooth and can be pulled back out.

Because she is bigger than the other bees and she is the queen.
