Does the venom from a bee sting enter the blood stream directly or does it diffuse in via the tissue?

Answer 1

A bee sting starts off in the tissue. Often the bee leaves its stinger in the body it's stung and the little thing has a pump that continues to pump venom into the victim. Unfortunately for the bee, when it leaves its stinger, which it almost always does, this means death to the poor bee as part of the intestines of the bee remain with the stinger.

It's also been said that bees can see ulta violet light and some flowers show up better pointing the way for the bee.

Answer 2

It goes the natural course of tissues to blood stream.

Only the Female bumblebee stings. The males have no sting at all.

1. Melittin, which is the largest active component of the bee venom. If a person is stung, then this causes the release of histamine and can lower the blood pressure.
2. Phospholipase a, which causes the pain and releases toxins into the body.
3. Hyaluronidase, which allows the toxins to spread.
4. Acid phosphatase, which induces allergic reactions.
5. Histamine, which causes itching and pain.

You probably know that a honey bee will generally sting only to protect itself, as owing to the shape of its sting (a barb shape, rather like a fishing hook), the bee cannot withdraw the sting without tearing its abdomen, which results in its death.
