A worker honey bee's sting is barbed, so after she has thrust it into the victim she cannot pull it back out. When the bee pulls away, the sting remains behind, together with the venom sac and often part of the intestine. The resulting damage is fatal to the bee. A queen bee has a smooth sting so she can withdraw the sting and re-use it. Drones (male bees) don't have a sting.

On being stung, most humans will wipe away the offending bee, and by so doing, rip out the barbed stinger and related entrails, thereby, killing the bee.Wafting and arm thrashing, or even screaming as you run away, makes you look stupid, and doesn't really help.

Why do bees sting and they die?
In some bees, their innards are attached to their stinger, which is barbed and is supposed to stick in the victim's skin. When the bee stings you, it releases the stinger from the abdomen along with some vital organs, causing the bee to die minutes later. This does not usually happen with hornets. They have a smooth retractable stinger that is meant to inject venom into the victim's body, not stick into it.
What is the difference between bee sting and wasp sting?
A bee stinger is barbed and once inserted into its target, the bee can not retract it so as the bee leaves the victim it leaves the stinger and a bit of its insides behind (the bee will eventually die as a result). The stinger continues to inject venom after the bee departs and should be removed without squeezing it. A wasp stinger is not barbed and the wasp can therefore insert the stinger into the target several times and at different sites. The wasp survives the process. Both insect inject a toxic fluid containing a complex protein.
