What is the reason bees die after they sting?

Question

I understand how they die, but why?

In: Biology

Answer 1

When a bee sting I always imagine the scene from Final Destination 2 with the guy that got his hand stuck in the sink with his watch. he could push his hand and break that part of the sink or break his arm – depends on how strong is the part. so that… with a spine.

So… I don’t think there is a reason besides being weaker than they think, because if the thing that they sting has a thin skin, they won’t die.

Edit: also, bees are stupid.
