Why Do Bees Die When They Sting?

Did you know that honey bees are social insects, whose colonies can be called superorganisms? Or that an individual bee cannot survive outside its family? The bee community has a strict hierarchy - each individual performs its specific function. The hive has a queen, drones and worker bees, who are divided into two categories: one category serves the house, and the other one flies out for supplies.
In today's episode, you’ll get to learn a little more about these unique insects, things like why bees sting, who are killer bees, and why the bee dies when it stings.

What a complex animal! I was once saving bees from my swimming pool and only one bee stung me. Thanks so much for your knowledge regarding our friends who are so vital to our food crops and propagation of florals. I have a sizable lavender garden, and I will be looking for "my bees" when they return in the spring. BTW, I'd like to see what others think, rather than putting their "firsts" in the comments. 🐝

I wonder how many honey bees those people go through stinging themselves? The one woman looked like she had track marks like it was an addiction.

YES WHEN I was about 7 years old, me and my friends mest with a bee hive and bees chased us and many of them got on my head and stung me. I was taken to the ER and they examined my brain 🧠 and Thank God it was normal. 🙏🙏🙏

Imagine if when you punched someone it didn't just rip off your hand but there was a a chance it'd rip out your whole arm and a lung :#

I just met a bee this morning while lining up my clothes on the roof top after shower, I think the scent of the soap attracted it to my body but I dodged it and it flew away, don't provoke bees just get out of their way.

The sting is actually worse for the bees than humans. Its like a suicide bomber, he has to make that one shot count :)

[rubyzdy]
