Bees sting by injecting venom using their stinger, which is a modified ovipositor. When a bee is threatened or senses danger, it will thrust its stinger into the target and release venom, causing pain and possible allergic reactions in some individuals. Unfortunately, a bee's stinger is barbed, meaning it gets stuck in the victim, causing the bee to die after stinging.
