Why do bees sting even though they would die after?
In: Biology
The bee doesn’t know that.
Bees only die from getting their stinger stuck in a large animal’s skin. Most of what they sting isn’t thick-skinned like us, and they survive it just fine.
In fact, most bees survive stinging humans just fine. Only 0.04% of all bee species die stinging humans. 99%+ can sting and sting and sting to their heart’s content.
