One of the honeybee worker will spot something or someone near their hive and know what they do: sting it. If it is a insect the same size the worker can sting it multiple times. If it is a larger mammal (cat, bear ect.) and the worker stings the thick skin and pumps mostly the whole poison into the skin. The worker will fly away but will be torn up because the poison is like their blood.
By stinging.

Why do bumblebees die openly but honeybees never?

Bumblebees often die openly due to their solitary foraging behavior and shorter lifespans, making them more susceptible to environmental stressors. In contrast, honeybees live in colonies and have a social structure that allows them to care for sick or dying members, often removing them from the hive to maintain hygiene. Additionally, honeybees typically die within the safety of their hive, where they can be protected from predators and extreme conditions. This difference in behavior and social structure accounts for the visible deaths of bumblebees compared to honeybees.


How do honeybees form a new beehive?

To form a new hive, about 60% of a hive's workers fly away with a new queen, leaving the old one behind. They will wander for a few days, until they find a suitable place for the new hive. This process is called swarming.
