Bad news for picnic fans, bumblebees and wasps can survive multiple stings -it’s only the worker honeybees that die after administering a sting. The reason for this is due to the design of the stinger itself – shaped like a harpoon, the honeybee’s stinger lodges itself into the target and is so effective that the bee cannot pull free.
When it tries to get away, the bee self-amputates the stinger and with it removes part of its digestive tract, as well as some nerves and muscles. Unfortunately, the bee cannot survive this trauma and dies as a result.
