Dukenukem Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Any time I have been stung by a honey bee they have left the stinger in me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The stingers are barbed. If you wait to see if they can work free, that allows time to pump the entire venom load into you. Flick them off, scrape off the stinger without punching it (more venom in you if you pinch the venom sac), and let the bee die. It’s ONE bee out of the 50,000 in the hive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only bees would stop stinging and just set themselves on fire........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Actually Bees form a ball around an antagonistic and work their wings and vibrate. This causes over heating and death their enemies. https://www.livescience.com/19078-bee-ball-cooks-enemies.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
