  Bad for the bee as well…

    Bumblebees can sting repeatedly, but generally avoid doing so. Dying after one sting is specific to honey bees.

      They don’t always die after one sting.

      They can remove their stinger, just … often times in that sting moment there’s a lot going on.

      Once stung most animals aren’t patient enough to let the bee pull out for a second go.

      Not even Honeybees. They can sting many times, the problem is human skin is too “grabby” for their barbs so often while trying to wiggle free or being forcibly removed, the guts come out with it.

      If you give them a chance and they didn’t sting too deep they can often wiggle free to sting another day.

  It would be so big you could put like a bouncey ball on the end to make it not pointy while you held it.
