    thats not true. they die when they lose their stinger, which does not happen with every sting. stingers easily get stuck in human skin though which causes them to lose their stinger so easily.

      One of the my childhood friend’s dad swallowed a bee once. He nearly died, and frequently said it was the worst summer of his life.
