Bees die when they sting us just to cause inflammation. Mosquitos inject malaria to its victim.
Is it a source of food for mosquitoes?

Bees sting to protect their colony.
Mosquitos use the sap in trees as their food source. Only the females need blood. Blood is the source of nutrition for their eggs.
Mosquitos can transmit malaria if they sting one person who has it and then go on to sting another.

Bee stings are so not fun. I've been stung at least 4 times. Don't really remember the first one, but i think it was somewhere on my shoulder. The second one I ever gotten was right smack in the middle of my forehead, I felt like a unicorn. I got it from sitting on a water slide, and then I felt something brush my forehead, I brushed it off, realized it was a bee about a few seconds later when I felt the excruciating pain. Then I was stung twice on both arms when I went into a raspberry patch. I was chasing my grandmother's cat that ran away, and instead of getting the cat, I got two nasty bee bites. And I'm so lucky that picture doesn't show up because it's blocked. I'm terrified of all spiders, except the little teeny tiny red ones that are rare. I see a small and I have a giant freakout that includes screaming and near crying. I'm that much of a baby around spiders. 0.o I hate any kind of insects, I'm terrified of anything with over 4 legs. So centipeads [sp?] terrify me terribly

Bees sting as a defense, mosquitoes for food (blood) they all don't carry Malaria

If one bee stings you it causes inflamation. if more then a hundred sting you you could easily die. they are like kamikazes that die to protect the hive and the queen. dont mess with them. africanized killing bees will enter your lungs and sting you inside them untill you die. saw it done to a dog once on a documentary.
Only female mosquitoes sting you to feed, the males actually eat nectar. not all of them carry diseasess, but some do so protect youself with insect repellent.

yes it is a source of food for mosquitoes, and for bees they are prtecting their territory by instinct, almost the same for all the other bugs

Most from self protection..others for need of food and still others to lay parasitic eggs.
