        to bee or not to bee, that is the question.

    Obviously the error was choosing bee DNA.

    Wasps can sting multiple times.

        Wasp doesn’t suck, it sting.

        For real though, wasp get its bad reputation because of some species, otherwise it’s actually very beneficial to the ecosystem.

          Ok, seems like you’ve never heard of zombie-making wasps. 😆

            Presumably one of “some species” they refer to

      The vast majority of bee species don’t die when they sting you (though it does seem like our intrepid scientist went for a classic European honey bee)

    Protip: Don’t use a honeybee, which has a barbed stinger. Go for one with a smooth stinger instead.

    IIRC only female bees have stingers

      The stings are indeed ovipositors, though lots of bees can still bite you

    Why did his arms, legs, and pelvis snap off the rest of the skeleton?

    Also I may be mistaken, but can’t bees sting things their size just fine? They just get their stinger stuck in humans (and probably other creatures). I think in this case he could sting and pull out just fine, but who knows?

      Iinm it’s because of how thick and elastic human skin are, the stinger will stuck to human skin and the bee will have a hard time pulling it out. Some will have it unstuck and live, some will die. For animal of same size, they will pull it out just fine

      Also the stinger will attach to the venom sack and not spine(bee have exoskeleton). It dies because unfortunately the venom sack is also attach to their other organ and also a large open wound.
