What happens to the stinger of a bumble bee after it stings you?

Answer 1

A bees stinger has a hook on the end, like a fish hook, so when the bee tries to get away after stinging someone it actually pulls the stinger and venom gland out of its body, mortally wounding the bee. A person should scrape the stinger out rather than trying to pinch it and pull it out, which pushes more venom in. The amount of reaction one has from a sting is entirely up to that persons body. It can range from a mild sting and itch to a full blown allergic reaction that closes the persons throat and can cause death.

Answer 2

Many bees die after they sting you. Others like the killerbee, don't.

This is because regular bees, when they sting you, the stinger is attached to one of their organs. When they sting you, that organ comes out of the bee along with the stinger, resulting in the bee shortly after dying.

Answer 3

Answer 5
