that they only sting people if they feel threatened? but then after they sting dont they die anyway?

seems kinda pointless to me

or is it a bee martyr who dies to save all the other bees?
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    It's not self-defense it's suicide. 'Oh, I feel so threatened! There's nothing left to live for!' *sting*

    ...and scientists believe the Scottish bee population won't last long, as since the last century they have been in the habit of flying underneath kilts, therefore one can safely deduce that they are all gay.

    well, you should. It's educational at the very least :D

    And bee's must feel quite inferior to the wasps, who are invincible after stingage.
    A wasp can extract the shaft and fly off contented with having executed a nasty attack on the hapless victim. On the other hand the poor old bee ends up having his entire stinging apparatus, poison sac and all, wrenched out of its abdomen. The bee will later die due to the damage caused.

    Is it true that bees are less common in this country now as apposed to say, ten years ago? A friend of mine wanted to start growing stinging nettles in his back garden to encourage them in.

    I don't know, but when I was a kid one stung me square on the pecker. I guess it's what I get for humping a jar of honey..Isn't it ironic, don't you think? Mmm, honey..

    Yes it's true that they sting when threatened, and that they die shortly afterwards. Or at least that's what I heard.

    The dolphin is only purple cause you wax it too often.

    I guess it is a form of Bee Martyrdom. They sting when threatened because they must protect the queen...so, yeah they don't WANT to sting...because sucks for them they leave like half their asses in whatever they sting.

    *wouldn't it be funny if the same is true for men? like when you'all sting someone your poker detaches. Muahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!! *rubs hands together in evil anticipation*

    You'd really want to save it for the best woman out there wouldn't you. I'm not losing my poker to just anyone. :D
