Note: A dead beeâs stinger can sting you, and the force of your weight on the beeâs body can result in venom injection. So, donât step on, sit on, or play with dead bees.
Females are the only ones that sting, and they do so multiple times, making the experience quite traumatic for the victim. Bees leave the stinger on a person's skin. But, in some cases, even red wasps do that. Their stinger needs to be (and can easily be) withdrawn from the victim's skin.
