Question: What is in a bee that makes a stinger sting you

Well, I guess the answer to your tricky question is a “Stinger”.
A stinger is a kind of little needle that any worker honeybees have at the very end of their body. Now, this needle it is hidden into the body of the bees until the moment that she really need to use it to sting a victim.
Once she sting, she also releases a little drop of venom inside the victim using her specific needle. The venom is not closely lethal to human unless you are allergic to it.
Very important to remember, once a honeybee sting you, she will die because the stinger get stuck into your skin and she cannot escape from it unless she loses the stinger. But once this happens she will soon die after.
Therefore, a honeybee will sting only if she really needs to for defence porpuses.
