The first time it stings you, its stinger comes off, usually stuck in your skin. A bee's sting has barbs at its tip, so that it cannot be pulled out as easily. When the bee frees itself from the sting, much of its organs are pulled out with it, and so the bee will soon die.

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.
