Summary

The sharp stab of a bee sting hurts bad enough, but it's the venom that makes the pain last. The stingers of honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) are typically single-use. In the process of stabbing their target's skin, the bee's stinger is ripped from its rear, leaving a considerable wound that the bee later dies from.
