In theory, honey bees will sting anything that poses a threat to either a specific honey bee, or to the hive, including other insects, mammals, farm equipment, birds, clothing, etc. Stinging is their primary mode of defense. I have not heard of a specific case where a honey bee has stung a wood bee (or carpenter bee), but if a perceived threat from a carpenter bee was registered with one or more honey bees, or the hive, I have every reason to believe that honey bees would sting a carpenter bee. Incidentally, the opposite is also true, a carpenter bee could, in theory, sting a honey bee.
Three differences between Orchard Mason Bees and Honeybees are: 1. Honeybees are more aggessive. 2. Orchard Mason Bees live in mud holes while Honeybees live in hives. 3. Orchard Mason Bees sting less frequently than Honeybees.
No, sweat bees do not die after they sting. Unlike honeybees, which have barbed stingers that are left behind in the skin and cause them to die after stinging, sweat bees have smooth stingers that allow them to sting repeatedly without harm to themselves.
For the most part, no - honeybees are fairly docile and will only attack or sting if they or the nest are provoked into attack. Otherwise, honeybees are helpful insects to have around - they are responsible for pollinating the vast majority of our fruit and vegetable fields and orchards so that the plants will produce fruit.
Honeybees use its stinger as a defense. So, if a honeybees feels like it's in danger because of something/someone, it stings the something/someone that might cause the honeybee to feel like it's in danger.
Yes, honeybees die after they sting because their stingers are barbed and become lodged in the skin, tearing the bee's abdomen as it tries to fly away. Hornets, on the other hand, have smooth stingers and can sting multiple times without dying.
Yes, only honeybees die after they sting.
Only if they sting you.
In honeybees, only the males (drones) do not have a sting.
Yes, if they feel threatened.
Their sting.
Honeybees really hate to sting.But if you mess with them they will mess=with you. =
No. This is only true of honeybees. Wasps do not lose their stingers and can sting multiple times.
many people can be harmed or possably die from there sting
Yes, paper wasps do not die after they sting because their stingers are not barbed like those of honeybees. This allows them to sting multiple times without harming themselves.
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. But when a worker honeybee stings someone, it's fatal for them: After a worker bee stings someone, their stinger is deeply attached to the person; then when the honeybee tries to fly away, their abdomen gets torn out and it kills them.
