Yes, after stinging, a honeybee dies from a massive abdominal rupture. It does not easily separate itself from its stinger, which has two barbed lancets. As a honeybee pulls away from its stinger, parts of its digestive tracts, muscles, and nerves separate traumatically from its abdomen.
Only honey bee's do.
Only honeybees die when they sting. This is because of the shape of their stinger. Other bees such as bumble bees can sting multiple times.
If you are stung by a honey bee, the bee will die. If you are stung by a wasp, it lives on to sting another day.

Yes bees die after stinging. Honey bees die because their singer comes out when they sting you.

Female worker honey bees will die after stinging a mammal with somewhat elastic skin (such as human skin). The barb at the end of the stinger cannot be pulled out of elastic skin so the bee keeps pulling until she pulls away leaving the stinger and part of her abdomen behind. The queen honey bee has a smooth stinger and can sting multiple times though she rarely leaves the hive. The male drone honey bees do not have stingers. Honey bees are the only species of bee that dies after stinging.
