How does a bee defend itself?

if you would get to close to a hive many of the bees woulde probably try to sting you.bee stings don't kill people except for killer bees which only live in some parts of Africa. if you are allergic to bee stinge it may kill you if it is not taken care of quickly.but it is very fatal... if your a bee,so bees don't want to sting you but they will if they think you are a threat to the hive.

It stings its attacker and releases a neurotoxin that hurts the animal. The bee then subsequently dies as they can only sting once.
