Best Answer

One of the honeybee worker will spot something or someone near their hive and know what they do: sting it. If it is a insect the same size the worker can sting it multiple times. If it is a larger mammal (cat, bear ect.) and the worker stings the thick skin and pumps mostly the whole poison into the skin. The worker will fly away but will be torn up because the poison is like their blood.
By stinging.
