How many muscles does a bee use to sting someone?

Answer 1

"When the sting is deployed, the bee bends it's abdomen downward due to the actions of the muscles that connect the abdominal plates. The muscle set on the ventral side contracts thereby increasing the overlap between the sternite plates. On the dorsal side another set of muscles contract so that the membrane between the tergite plates is distended. This results in a bent abdomen, which in combination of the angular ventral movement of the sting shaft (in turn caused by the furcula muscle). This ensures that the sting shaft enters roughly perpendicularly into skin of the victim. Perpendicular penetration is the most efficient as venom is delivered more deeply and the path through the tough skin is shortest. The force from the bee's legs, the muscles of the abdomen and the effect of the backward raked barbs, as the lancets reciprocate alternately, all combine to produce a thrust that drives the penetration of the sting."
