For bees, I believe that we are not strangers, and people who breed bees will be more familiar with another kind of bee, that is, ants, ants are different from place to place, most of them belong to the category of wasps, especially large wasps such as golden ring wasps and ink-breasted wasps, and people who breed bees are very familiar.
As long as it is a beekeeper, almost all have the experience of being stung by bees, even if they are not beekeepers, people who have grown up in the countryside have also had the experience of being stung by bees, although it is said that being stinged by vespas or stings by ants is not everyone's experience, but there are still people who have been stung by ants, even if they have not been stung by ants, there are animals and the like that have been stung by ants.
If we look closely, we will find that in fact, the phenomenon after the animal is stung by different bees is not the same, if we are stung by bees, usually there will be a sting needle of the bee on the skin, and also along with a part of the internal organs of the bees, if we are stung by a relatively large wasp, the result is different, and the general large bees will not leave a sting needle like a bee, but leave a hole, and the toxicity is also relatively strong.
Many friends are not clear, the same belongs to the bee, but also with the sting needle to attack the animal, why the bee attacks people after death, but the wasp attacks people will not die? On this issue, friends who know something about bees will put the problem down to the bee's sting needle, because the bee's sting needle has a barb on it, and once the bee stings the person, the sting needle is stuck in the skin of the animal, until the bee struggles to pull the sting needle together with a part of the internal organs to be considered the end, and the venom that is pulled out will continue to inject venom, which leads to death as long as the bee stings people.
Although there is a big difference between bees and wasps in individual size, but in the structure of the sting needle, in fact, the structure of the sting needle of the sting and the bee is not much different, that is to say, there is a barb on the sting needle, which is not exclusive to the bee, and the sting needle of the wasp also has a barb, so why does the last bee sting after the death, the sting of the sting, the sting of the sting, the sting of the sting, the sting of the sting of the sting, the sting of the sting of the sting, the sting of the sting, the sting of the st Today, the small editor of the bee tribe will share it with you.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" >What is the difference between the barb on the stinger needle of the sting and the barb on the sting needle of the bee? </h1>
Since there are barbs on the stinging needles of the bees and the stings of the bees, let's now see how the barbs on the stinging needles of the bees differ from the barbs on the stinging needles of the bees.
(1) Barbs on the sting needles of the bees: For the barbs on the stinging needles of the bees, in fact, the barbs on the stings of different stings are different, because there are many types of wasps, such as the size and arrangement of the barbs on the stinging wasps and the stinging needles of the golden-ringed wasps, which are about 10, the barbs are large and dense, and the black-tailed wasps, yellow-footed wasps and other species are similar, usually there are only 6 small barbs, and the arrangement is relatively sparse, so the barbs on the stinging needles are not exclusive to bees, almost as long as the bees attack with stinging needles, The stings are all barbed.
(2) Barbs on bee sting needles: For bees, although we can't see the barbs on the bee sting needles with the naked eye, the barbs on the bee sting needles are objectively existent, relative to large wasps, the barbs on the stinging needles of bees are the smallest, but you know, for many bees, bees are actually not large, belong to small bees, and the barbs on the bee sting needles are large and scattered, all the way to half the length of the stings.
In fact, as long as there is a barb, whether it is a bee or a wasp, once the sting wants to pull out the sting needle is a problem, because the barb is inverse growth, but it is obvious that in daily life, in addition to catching the wasp to see the sting needle, even if we are stung, it is difficult to see the sting needle of the sting on our skin.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > why doesn't the sting needle break after the sting? </h1>
Now let's look at the final question, what method did the ant bee use, so that even if the sting needle would not break? In fact, this is mainly related to the body structure of the wasp, although the structure of the stinging needle of the stinging bee is similar to that of the bee, but the stinging needle of the stinging bee has several advantages over the bee.
First: the advantages of the sting needle of the bee
(1) Only the tip of the needle is broken: Relative to the sting needle of the bee, the sting needle of the sting may only be broken, and will not be pulled out together with the internal organs, the reason is that the barb on the sting needle of some of the stings is not like the bee's, but grows on the tip of the needle, even if it is broken, usually only a part of the sting needle on the tip is broken in the skin of the human body, for example, we can not see the sting needle after some small wasps sting people in the countryside, but after a while we can find that the stinged place the flesh is broken, until the sting needle inside comes out.
(2) Easy to pull out: Although some wasps of the genus Vespa have barbs on the sting needles, the barbs are very small, and the wasps can easily pull out the stings after stinging, so they will not be left in the human body.
(3) Different degrees of muscular development: Friends who have seen wasps know that the shell of the wasp is relatively hard, and the muscles that control the sting needle in its tail are also very achieved, resulting in even if the wasp stings people later want to pull out the sting needle, the possibility of breaking is not large, and it can be used many times.
Second: the stinging needle of a bee
Putting aside the advantages of wasp sting needles, the natural remaining reason is that the bee sting needle is easy to break, in fact, the main reason is that there are many barbs on the bee sting needles, and the position arranged on the sting needles is long and large, and the tail muscles of the bees to control the sting needles are not as developed as the wasps, resulting in the bees only having to cut off the sting needles as long as they sting, and pull them out together with the venom sac.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > ant bees can really sting people into doubts about life? </h1>
In the process of our beekeeping, many friends often say that the wasp stings people's sting needles will not break, so you can sting people to doubt life, is the wasp such a big skill? In fact, this is not the case, although the wasp's stinging needle may be reused, but the wasp's stinging needle is at most to cause physical damage, and the real harm is actually the wasp's venom.
Whether it is a bee or a wasp, the purpose of its sting is to inject venom into the body of the enemy through the stinging needle, so that the enemy is poisoned, and whether it is a wasp or a bee, the amount of venom it produces is limited, and once it is used, it needs to be restored, so the continuous sting of the wasp for a short time does not mean that it has always been so toxic.
