Common Bees leave their venom sac after injection and die

For insects Wasps hornets do not die and can sting and inject venom repeatedly

For arachnids scorpions can sting repeatedly and spiders can bite and inject venom repeatedly

Let me first say that bees ONLY die when they sting creatures with skin thick enough to rip their stinger, poison sac, and digestive tract. If a bee stings an insect, no harm is done to the bee.

I'll also add that a queen bee can sting as much as she wants, since her stinger doesn't possess the barbs that the worker bees carry.

That said, bees are the only animals that die from that activity, although there are ants that commit suicide from exploding, though I don't have any actual information on that, just a memory.

I think the Bee is the only one...it loses the stinger and dies...Wasps and other flying insects do not usually lose their stingers and certainly don't die from stinging you...
