A honeybee's stinger is barbed, which is why it only kills the bee itself

A honeybee's stinger hooks into thick mammal skin and tears free with the venom sac attached, fatally wounding the bee. Against another insect's hard exoskeleton, the barbs don't catch, so the bee can sting repeatedly and fly away unharmed.
