Why a bee dies after a sting?

Bees are peaceful in nature. First bee does not attack, but reserved - stings. It is believed that, to sting, it dies. The site has become very interesting: it was true or not?



Responsible Voschanova Irina, Researcher of Research GAU "Moscow Zoo»:

«In fact, stung by a bee dies not always. This occurs only if it is attacked by an animal with an elastic skin. The fact that the bees, unlike wasps sting tip serrated like a harpoon. If a bee stinger plunged into an elastic skin of the victim, it is stuck there. Insect, trying to free himself, just pull the stinger with a portion of the internal organs. Such serious damage and lead to the death of bees. If a bee stings insect (and their body is covered with chitin, the material that is inelastic), she successfully pulls the sting from the wound and the victim remains alive and well ».
