Why do bees sting ?
When a bee stings you, it's incredibly sharp stinger pierces your skin. The singer injects a venom called apitoxin into your skin. Most of the time the stinger gets stuck in your skin and comes of the bee. Worker honey bees die because they have a barbed stinger that remains behind with the venom sac. Most bees and wasps do not have a barbed stinger and so they don’t die after stinging. Most bees sting because they are trying to protect their hives. Also they sting because they are trying to protect their pollen sources and their food. Wasps and hornets they just sting for fun they don’t care. They are not bees.
