Some of their guts come out when the stinger is ejected so they lose blood and organs.
Honey bee workers are the only ones that have barbed stings. If they are unable to withdraw the sting after stinging they will leave it behind. This causes severe internal injuries and the bee will die from those injuries. All other bees have smooth stings and have no difficulty withdrawing them. An additional point is that it is only the females that sting, not the males. The sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube), an organ that males do not have.
Most stings are by honey bees and other types of bee tend not to sting although they are able to.
Only honey bee workers die after they sting, and then only if they lose their stinger. This is because the honey bee's sting is barbed. All other bees have smooth stings so have no problem pulling them out again so they don't die after they sting.Drones (male bees or wasps) don't have stingers.
They can't, they have no sting.
No the stinger is not left in the skin from Wasps or Hornets. They just sting you and pull it out. Only Honey Bees leave a stinger in you. My family are beekeepers so I have been stung by many bees but since honey bees die when they loose their stinger they don't sting unless they feel threatened.
The bees that die : Honey bee. The bees do not die : Hornets, Yellowjackets/wasps, and bumblebees. those are the bees i know that die/do not die
When a honey bee stings a person or animal, they leave a barbed stinger in the flesh. They are unable to bull out the stinger which pulls out the bees digestive tract, muscles and nerves, which causes the honey bees to die.
bumble bees= honey bees and the ones that pollinate things boring bees= the ones that sting you and then die
It can sting
when bees sting you they die. but wasps when they sting you they stay alive.
sting people
Not in the sense of being "poisonous", no. There are no poisonous honey bees. However, all honey bees have a chemical they produce when they die by stinging someone that causes their sting to be more painful than simply being punctured.
Wasps,hornets, honey-bees, bumble bees, killer bees.Only the females (queen and workers) can sting, the males (drones) can't.
Honey bees don't bite they sting, and yes they do die after stinging, unlike wasps which will live to sting over and over again. The reason that honey bees die after stinging is because they cannot retract their sting barb which is an integral part of their body. ie, when the sting barb pierces your skin, the honey bee cannot withdraw the barb so its only method of escape is to leave the barb in your body, but the barb is such a large part of the bee's body that it cannot live without it and will be dead within a few minutes.

No, they don't. Unlike bumble bees, honey bees die soon after they sting because their stingers have barbs that make it impossible for the bee to remove it, and instead the venom sack pulls free of the body, mortally wounding the bee. Bumble bees do not have barbs on their stinger, making it possible for the bee to remove it's stinger, and sting repeatedly.
No.... only bees die after they sting you
