Best Answer

It is more likely to be a wasp or a hornet that is trying to sting you, especially if you have upset it. A honey or bumble bee will die after stinging you. While the end of a wasp's stinger is smooth and pointer, the end to a bee's stinger is barbed, which means that they can't sting and withdraw as easily as the wasp. Our human skin is thick enough that the bee can't withdraw the stinger. On being stung, most humans will wipe away the offending bee, and by so doing, rip out the barbed stinger and related entrails, thereby, killing the bee.
Wafting and arm thrashing, or even screaming as you run away, makes you look stupid, and doesn't really help.

Why do bees die after they sting people?

If it is a good sting, the venom sac will remain with the stinger. If the bee keeps the stinger, he will live. While some bee species, like the honey bee can only sting once before dying; some bees species, like the bumblebee, can sting multiple times and still live. this is because the honey bee stinger is barbed and tears off whie stinging, while the bumblebee has a smooth stinger that does not tear off while stinging.

How do you treat for a hornet sting?

You shouldn't need to take out a hornet sting. The hornet's sting is smooth and firmly attached to its body so it has no difficulty removing it as it flies away. If a sting has been left behind it was probably that of a honey bee.
