Honeybees will die after stinging because their stinger gets stuck in your skin and when they fly away, their poison sac gets ripped out of their abdomen leaving a wound that they cannot recover from.

yes
The sting is just part of the system
First is the stinger or barb that is stuck in your skin.
It is like a Dr's needle sharp and hallow.
At ached to that is a sac with the venom, it pumps venom through the stinger into you.
It is a big sac and is inside the bee.
So when it stings you the sac gets riped out of the bee.
now the bee has a big hole on it, so it dies.
I an not sure how much of the gut of a bee comes out with the stinger but it is to much for the bee.

When a bee stings you . It pulls it's guts out with the stinger it leaves behind. That is why it can only sting you once. But wasp can sting you readily again and again.

the only bees that die after they sting is the honeybee. Because when they sting, they remove parts of their abdomen. That is why when a honeybees stings, you should remove it by brushing it off and not picking it out using tweezers, because you'll inject more venom if you squeeze it out.

A bees sting contains lots of little hooks. When a bee stings you it rips its butt of and bleeds to death. A wasp sting doesn't have hooks and can sting you many times. A wasp doesn't lose its sting when it stings you.

depends on the bee. only honeybees die after stinging. they die because their stingers are connected to their abdomen and when they sting, their abdomen gets pulled out.

no they can sting a few times before there stingers come out of them & into the skin then they die off because they get filled with human blood.

not all bees die when tey sting you.however,the most commom bee,the honeybee,does.When it uses it's stinger,it actually rips its abdomen apart.their abdomen contains their organs and blood,and so the bee dies of blood loss.
