A bee’s stinger detaches from their body and remains embedded in your skin delivering venom. Because it’s barbed they can’t remove it so when they try to fly away it tears out part of their digestive track with it.

It would be like you stabbing someone with a harpoon but the harpoon is part of your arm. When you try to run away your arm gets torn off along with all of your intestines and your lungs.

Pretty nasty way to go…
