The life of a bee is short, but its sting is sharp, causing pain that can linger long after the bee has gone. Each sting is the bee’s defense against those who would mean it harm. Now it fights its last fight, paying the price with its life but ensuring the safety of its colony.
A bee’s sting can be painful, both emotionally and physically. But how long do its effects last? Is the pain just a fleeting moment, or do its repercussions linger?
If you’re on the receiving end of a bee’s sting, you’ll be glad to know that the bee’s own life is short-lived. After releasing its venomous stinger, the bee will soon die, providing a welcome respite after the excruciating pain of its sting. But, how long does the bee have left to live? The answer is short-shrifted, and rather merciful.
