Not if the bee loses its sting in the process of stinging an animal or a person. As the sting is pulled out of the bee's body it causes internal injuries from which the bee will die within a matter of hours.
Bees will sting any thing so yes.
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.
The females (queen and workers) of most varieties of bee can sting. No males (drones) of any species can sting because the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube) -- an organ that males do not have.There are a few varieties of bee that do not have stings at all. These are mostly solitary bees.
I can't see any circumstance where they would ever meet.
They are more dangerous, not because their sting is any worse than that of any other honey bee, but because they are more defensive so are far more ready to sting, and tend to sting in larger numbers.
The friendliest bees in a hive are the drones (males), because they don't have a stinger. Otherwise, any bee will sting something close to her if she feels it is threatening her colony. However, nurse bees rarely leave the hive, and the ones that are most likely to sting you when you get too close to their home are the older bees whose job it is to defend the hive.
No. In fact the loss of the sting causes other injuries and any bee that loses its sting will almost certainly die within a matter of hours.
They look just like any other honey bees. The only difference is that they are more defensive, so are more ready to sting.
Stinging is the self defense mechanism and can be used against any attacking animal.
Yes and no. Male bumble bees do not have a stinger. Females on the other hand sting. The sting is very painful and may require treatment to get the stinger out of your skin.There is one treatment that I surely recommend requires baking soda, water, and an ear cleaner.You simply hold ice onto the wound until it becomes less painful, thus the ice only cools the wound. After that you take a small bowl or cup and pour about 1-2 teaspoons, add coldwater. Then take the ear cleaner and mix then dip it into the wet baking soda. Take then baking soda and rub it on the sting with the ear cleaner(Q-tip).
If undisturbed, they won't bother you; however, if you disturb their nesting area by pulling weeds from the ground where the nest is, they will sting. I got stung this morning just that way, and last year I was chased by many bees after pulling weeds and apparently disturbing their nest.
Cats may try to catch and eat bees, but it is not safe for them to do so. Bees can sting cats, causing pain and potential allergic reactions. It is best to keep cats away from bees to prevent any harm.
