 Stages in the Life
of a Bee |
 Honeybee (Apis
spp) Honeybees are the only type of bee to
have a stinger. Unlike other stinging insects, a
honeybee can only use its stinger once; barbs
keep the stinger firmly embedded in the victim,
so when the bee withdraws it must literally leave
its insides behind with the stinger and the bee
will die soon after, having given its life to
defend its hive. |
 Family

parasitic insects whose larvae feed on
caterpillars, pupae, and larvae of other insects.

the world, this family has more species than any
other family in the order. |
