That stings!!
Bees don't sting unless they are provoked. Bees depend on their stingers to defend themselves and their homes. Glands attached to bee stingers produce venom that causes pain and swelling. When a hive of killer bees is disturbed, they attack in large numbers, and their stings have killed people and animals! Killer bees live in Latin America and the southern United States, so if you live here, don't throw rocks and bee hives!
