Bees Have Two Kinds of Stingers
If you have ever gotten stung by a bee before, you know that they are one-and-done. They sting you, then shortly after meet their demise. That is the way the cookie crumbles for bees. Does this mean that they only have one stinger though?
Above, you see two stingers, with the head of a pin at the top, along with a hypodermic needle at the bottom for the sake of scale and comparison. As you can see, bees have stingers made up of two barbed lancets. The two rub together and dig deep into the skin while excreting a toxin.
