Worker bee stings are typically not fatal to humans, unless the person is allergic to bee venom. When a bee stings, it releases venom that causes mild to moderate pain, redness, and swelling at the sting site. In rare cases, an allergic reaction can occur, leading to more serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, and a drop in blood pressure, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

What is the defense mechanism that a worker bee carries in her abdomen?

A worker bee carries a stinger in her abdomen, which is a modified ovipositor. This stinger is used as a defense mechanism to protect the hive from threats and intruders. When a worker bee stings, it injects venom into the target, which can cause pain and deter predators. However, stinging is often fatal for the bee, as the stinger and associated tissues are left behind, leading to its death shortly after.

A sting is what makes a honeybee harmful, but they won't sting unless they are provoked. Only female honeybees have stingers, are workers, and take up most of the population in the hive.
