Of all the stinging hymenoptera (honey bees, bumble bees, wasps, ants and so on) only the honey bee worker has a barbed sting which it loses. All others (including the honey bee queen) keep their stings.
No. After a bee has stung its victim, when it pulls away the barbed stinger pulls out of the bee's body together with with the venom sac and the associated structures. The bee dies from its injuries.
A bee stinger is a sharp, needle-like structure located at the end of a bee's abdomen. It is used to inject venom into the skin of its target. When a bee stings, the stinger detaches from the bee's body, causing the bee to die shortly after.
The barb that is on a bee's stinger is like a razor blade. This will cause the stinger to remain locked into the skin when projected.
Yes, it's a joke, but not a great one. A singing bee can be called an opera stinger.
Well, the difference is that the worker bees (female) and the queen bee have stingers, as the drones (male) do not. So, if a bee has a stinger, it is a female, and if it doesn't have a stinger, it is a male. Hope I helped! :)

The only stinging insect that loses it stinger when it stings is the honey bee worker. So, no, the hornet does not lose its stinger.
While most people refer to the stinging appendage of a bee as the stinger, it is scientifically referred to as a sting. People often think that there is a more complex name for this appendage.

Getting a bee stinger out is not easy. The best way to get out a bee stinger would be with a pair of tweezers.

You don't. Unlike a honey bee, a wasp withdraws its stinger after stinging and a honey bee leaves its stinger stuck in your skin.
It has a stinger to jab at it's enemies. The problem with the stinger, is that if the bee stabs someone with it, the stinger attaches itself to the enemy and is torn from the bee's backside, which results in the death of the bee.
