Honey bee stinger. Coloured environmental scanning electron micrograph (ESEM) of the stinger of a honey bee (Apis sp.) with ejected venom (grey). The stinger is used to inject venom when the bee feels threatened. Unlike wasps,bee stingers have barbs which prevent the bee from pulling them out. Instead,the stinger stays in the victims skin and is ripped out of the bee's body,killing the bee. Magnification: x200 when printed at 10 centimetres wide | |
