Why can queen bees sting ?
Apparently queen bees have relatively small barbs on their stingers, so they are not injured when they remove their stingers as most worker bees are. The stinger is a modified oviposter, or appendage for laying eggs.
Apparently, I do not understand bee abdominal structure. I thought that instead of laying eggs, the worker bee oviposters were modified to create stingers instead, which was why worker bees do not lay eggs like the queen bees do.
However, since queen bees do have a stinger, and even some worker bees do lay eggs (albeit unfertilized eggs), this is not totally accurate. How can a queen both sting and lay eggs ? How can worker bees sting and sometimes lay eggs?
