Why do bumble bee stings hurt worse than bee stings

  • Answer:

    It depends on the type of bee that stings you. Honey bees, unlike bumble bees, can sting only one time because their stinger becomes detached after insertion. The honey bee stinger is barbed while the bumble bee stinger is smooth and allows for repeated stings.
