Why do bees sting even though they would die after?
In: Biology
Same reason soldiers go into battle even though they may die. Worker bees have a job, protect the hive, dying is a possible result of that. Unlike humans though bees have a tiny little brain that can’t grasp concepts such as true threat assessment and risk/reward, so they just sting whenever their little neurons sense a danger. The bee is probably not even aware that it will kill them to do so, they don’t have such complex thoughts like we do.
