honeybees do, yes. honeybees and mason bees stingers are attached to thier abdomen, and when the stinger sticks into your skin, it tears off part of thier stomach. *not attractive* Wasps can regrow stingers, so they can sting you over and over! Aren't you excited?!

This belongs in biology or nature.Anyway,it's tru that bees
die shortly after stinging someone or thing.The sting
pulls out critical parts of it's internal anatomy.The average
bee doesn't live long anyway so sacrificing themselves
for the safety of the hive is better than falling dead and
being tossed out as trash by their sisters.All worker bees
are female btw,the few males exist to impregnate new
queens and then they die.
If you have the time,watch more Discovery channels.

Its true!
I live on a bee farm and have been stung many times always after the sting the bee falls to the ground and dies slowly.

Honey Bees die after losing the stinger. Worker bees are endowed with a stinger to protect the hive.

I know that honey bees will die after stinging, but that the only one I'm sure about.

the american honey bee will die shortly after stinging a human because as they leave their stinger in you and take off it polls out their innerds(gross ha) other bees such as african honey bee(killer bee) can servive to sting a person several times, hornets bite and sting, and a bumble bee can sting and servive.

Bees die after they sting. I've actually seen video of it and their stingers stay in your body and rip off part of their rear end. Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can sting repetedly.
I found a Discovery.com article on it: http://health.discovery.com/centers/topics/insects.html

I am not sure how soon it takes for them to die, but i am sure they die within a 5 min time span after they sting someone, because sometimes you can find their stinger inside you skin when you get stung. and then they die

Yes they do. Once they've stung you then there's this little poison sack that remains in the bee then over time the bee will die.

Yes, as the stinger is attached to them. The stinger is barbed, so it remains in the host to express the venom. However, in pulling free of it, their guts are pulled out as well and they die
