        In bee and ant societies, all decisions are made by adult workers through chemical voting. (Queens, larvae and drones don’t get a vote, though.)

          That whole issue sounds incredibly stupid from the outside. Would there be the same outrage if someone named their kid Ghengis? He killed even more people. Or Vlad, as in Vlad the Impaler? Or Joseph as in Joseph Stalin? Looking at this with an outside perspective, it truly sounds as the whole thing is fabricated because people just hate the marriage between a Hindu and a Muslim.

      It’s too soon for distasteful comments like this.

      There’s no evidence the bee died. Many species can sting more than once. Hopefully the bee can go on to sting many more allergic billionaires.

      Actually bees always die after stinging anything.

        That’s somewhat incorrect. Their stingers have barbs that get stuck in skin and the like and pull out their organs when they try to extract, but that was because it evolved to pierce carapace, not skin. They can sting other insects without dying.

        Also, as someone else pointed out, some bees, like bumblebees and carpenter bees,have smooth stingers that do not get stuck in skin.

          Yellowjackets can sting the fuck out of you multiple times, too. I got stung by two of them last summer and then they somehow got inside my t-shirt and stung me a bunch more times before I made it inside and flung my shirt off. After waiting half an hour for the pain to subside, I picked up my t-shirt to put it back on and the two yellowjackets fell out of it, still alive. Fortunately they were as surprised as I was and I was able to stomp them before they stung me again.

                The conversation is literally around bees and how many times they can sting you before they die, and you bring up yellow jackets. If you knew they weren’t bees why did you bring them up?

                  They are both part of the hymenoptera order. They are not the same, but they are related evolutionarily and thus can still be relevant to discussion about bees.

        thats not true. they die when they lose their stinger, which does not happen with every sting. stingers easily get stuck in human skin though which causes them to lose their stinger so easily.

          And in this particular case, the soft lining of the esophagus wouldn’t necessarily get the stinger stuck.

          One of the my childhood friend’s dad swallowed a bee once. He nearly died, and frequently said it was the worst summer of his life.

            Drones don’t have stingers. Queens and workers have stingers. Queens are from worker larva that are fed royal jelly that transforms them into a queen that is capable of reproduction. Workers are technically female but they’re closer to asexual.

            So, that badass enby ace bee gave that motherfucker what for.

              You are right if it’s a honey bee. There are many other species of bees that do have males with stingers. For example many solitary bees (live alone rather than in a hive) have stingers though aren’t known to sting people unless swallowed like in the OP.

              The British isles have over 200 species of solitary bees so it’s very possible the bee hero in question here was a male :)

                Didn’t even think it about it not being a honey a bee. You’re right.

                  I just learned about solitary bees a few years ago. For some reason it has never cross my mind until I was researching these unusual blue bees in my garden which turned out to bee Blue Banded Bee which is awesome:
