yes, the stinger is barbed and as they withdraw it, the stinger and poison gland are torn from their body.

Yes Bees do. They have a stinger that has a barb on it that when they penetrate the object it gets hooked in there. They then pull away leaving behind the stinger and A sac that is attached to it . This sac contains the venom and acts like a little muscle pumping the solution out even after the Bee has left.
Unlike a wasp which can continue stinging again and again . The Bee stinger can be removed.
Needless to say Bees only sting when really threatened

Honeybees die after stinging you, because their stinger has a barb. The barb catches in your skin, and when the bee flies off, the stinger and part of it's abdomen remains behind. I believe that bumblebees also die.
Hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets have smooth stingers and are capable of stinging you many times.
As a footnote, when removing a stinger be sure to scrape it off your skin using a credit card or your fingernail. If you pull it out, you will squeeze more venom into the affected area, which will make the wound hurt and itch much worse.

Bees die after stinging. Wasps and (I believe) hornets don't; they can sting multiple times.

Yeah... After they sting you they lose their stinger and die without it. Sucks for them... at least the same one can't sting you again!

If the singer comes off of them, therefor their butt is ripped off, then yes. The ones that don't leave their stinger, like hornets and stuff, no...I believe they live to sting again.

yes. their stinger is attached to muscles in their abdomen. So when the stinger gets pulled out, some of their guts come with it.
