Ok, I'm gonna answer you awalll!
@ Disgruntled Intern question 2 - Bees do get around, in the summer a bee will be let in if she has enough honey and the guard bees don't think she smells bad (pheromone)
Like a little bee bouncer at a beeight club -
"Alright hun are you getting here?"
"Plz, I haz gucci numba four on!"
"Ok then fine, only coz u smells nice and haz lots uf honnee,"
"Kthxbi"
Bees aren't little robots like people make out they are, they do sniff around and have regular breaks between work where they meet up (sort of) eat and have a good lick of the queens face!
@ Mollucks Assisstant - depends, if your hard core like me and a bee stings you, you can let it dig its stinger out of your arm/face/lower areas, but if it pulls it's sting off then it will die in a few minutes since it's basically ripped it's lower torso off!
@ Sekto Springs - You may have watched asian bees killing hornets or bees killing wasps with this method, bees I think just sting other bees, its one of the few things they can survive.
