Can male insects sting?

A bee will only sting if it feels under threat. If a bee approaches some people they will try to make it go away by swatting at it with their hands. To the bee this is very threatening -- so it is likely to sting. The best thing to do is keep calm and keep your movements slow. The bee will lose interest in you and fly away. If not, just walk away from the bee.

How many kilometers can a bee travel on 1 gram of honey?

They use their long, tubelike tongues like straws to suck the nectar out of the flowers and they store it in their "honey stomachs". Bees actually have two stomachs, their honey stomach which they use like a nectar backpack and their regular stomach. The honey stomach holds almost 70 mg of nectar and when full, it weighs almost as much as the bee does. Honeybees must visit between 100 and 1500 flowers in order to fill their honey stomachs.The honeybees return to the hive and pass the nectar onto other worker bees. These bees suck the nectar from the honeybee's stomach through their mouths. These "house bees" "chew" the nectar for about half an hour. During this time, enzymes are breaking the complex sugars in the nectar into simple sugars so that it is both more digestible for the bees and less likely to be attacked by bacteria while it is stored within the hive. The bees then spread the nectar throughout the honeycombs where water evaporates from it, making it a thicker syrup. The bees make the nectar dry even faster by fanning it with their wings. Once the honey is gooey enough, the bees seal off the cell of the honeycomb with a plug of wax. The honey is stored until it is eaten. In one year, a colony of bees eats between 120 and 200 pounds of honey.

Do honey comb bees sting?

Yes, however, the stinger is actually a modified ovipositor. An ovipositor is the body part, or device a queen bee uses to lay eggs. She can also use it as a stinger. Worker bees can also sting, meaning worker bees are also female. Their stinger is an ovipositor. Most worker bees never lay eggs, but occasionally a worker can become a "laying worker." In most cases she has not been fertilized, and non-fertilized eggs become drones. Drones are male bees and, being male, they have no ovipositor and cannot sting.

How do bees die after they sting?

Worker bees die after they sting because their stingers are barbed and get pulled out of their bodies. Their poison sacks, and part of their intestines are pulled out along with it killing the bee.


Male and female bee sting?

Only honey bee workers die after they sting, and then only if they lose their stinger. This is because the honey bee's sting is barbed. All other bees have smooth stings so have no problem pulling them out again so they don't die after they sting.Drones (male bees or wasps) don't have stingers.


Why do only female bees sting?

Female bees, or worker bees, are the ones responsible for stinging because their stingers are modified egg-laying structures called ovipositors. When a worker bee stings, its stinger is barbed and gets stuck in the skin, tearing the bee's abdomen and causing it to die. This is why male bees, or drones, which do not have stingers, cannot sting.


Do male or female bees sting?

Why can't a honeybee sting you twice?

The first time it stings you, its stinger comes off, usually stuck in your skin. A bee's sting has barbs at its tip, so that it cannot be pulled out as easily. When the bee frees itself from the sting, much of its organs are pulled out with it, and so the bee will soon die.
