yes
Yes ,they do die their stinger thingy is connected to their intestines and when they sting someone as they try to get away their intestines come out than they die.Yeah,i know they deserve it!
Only honey bees die after stinging anyone.
Allegedly so.
yes. their stinger is attached to muscles in their abdomen. So when the stinger gets pulled out, some of their guts come with it.
Yes.
Yes, but only certain types.
If the singer comes off of them, therefor their butt is ripped off, then yes. The ones that don't leave their stinger, like hornets and stuff, no...I believe they live to sting again.
Bees die after stinging. Wasps and (I believe) hornets don't; they can sting multiple times.
Yes, the kind that I was stung by dies right after they stung me, its like they were performing Kamakazi, lol.... anyways, but im not sure about all type of bees!
Honeybees die after stinging you, because their stinger has a barb. The barb catches in your skin, and when the bee flies off, the stinger and part of it's abdomen remains behind. I believe that bumblebees also die.

Hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets have smooth stingers and are capable of stinging you many times.

As a footnote, when removing a stinger be sure to scrape it off your skin using a credit card or your fingernail. If you pull it out, you will squeeze more venom into the affected area, which will make the wound hurt and itch much worse.
Yes Bees do. They have a stinger that has a barb on it that when they penetrate the object it gets hooked in there. They then pull away leaving behind the stinger and A sac that is attached to it . This sac contains the venom and acts like a little muscle pumping the solution out even after the Bee has left.
Unlike a wasp which can continue stinging again and again . The Bee stinger can be removed.
Needless to say Bees only sting when really threatened
