    That doesn’t even make any sense if you stop and think about it at all. Sure, a single worker bee dying isn’t a huge deal, but they all do that. It would definitely be better for the hive and the queen if they didn’t rip their own guts out.

      but worker bees generally don’t have to sting anything, the amount of them that do have to do so is low enough that it’s not a big issue, and they have probably gotten work done before dying anyways.
