77. The bee and its sting

Have you been stung by a bee before? If you have, you will know that it is quite painful. When you are
stung by a bee, pull out the sting right away. If you do this, less poison will be able to enter the wound.
Most people get a swelling. But when some lotion is applied to the wound, the swelling goes down.
However, there are some people who are very sensitive to bee stings. If a person gets stung he must see a
doctor at once. However, bee stings are usually not dangerous
After a bee stung you, it usually dies. This is because the sting remains in your flesh. Some parts of the
bees body are pulled off with it. A bee cannot live on with the loss of these parts, so it dies.
The only bee that does not die after using its sting is the queen bee. Its sting is curved and smooth and so
it can use it over and over again. However, we need not fear it. This is because it uses its sting only on
other queen bees!
