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.

What type of bee doesnt die after stinging you?

Honey bee workers are the only ones that have barbed stings. If they are unable to withdraw the sting after stinging they will leave it behind. This causes severe internal injuries and the bee will die from those injuries. All other bees have smooth stings and have no difficulty withdrawing them. An additional point is that it is only the females that sting, not the males. The sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube), an organ that males do not have.


What bee dies after stinging?

Honeybees are the bees that die after stinging. When a honeybee stings, it leaves behind its stinger and part of its abdomen, which ultimately leads to its death. This is a defense mechanism to protect the hive, and the bee sacrifices itself in the process. Other types of bees, like bumblebees, can sting multiple times without dying.
