∙ 14y agoThe bee's sting really developed in the first place to sting other insects. When the sting is pushed through an insect's hard exoskeleton the barbs make the hole a little larger so the bee has no difficulty withdrawing the sting. It is only when stinging into animal skin, which is elastic and closes up around the sting, gripping the barbs, the bee can't easily withdraw the sting.
Only the honey bee has barbed stings. The stings of other bees and wasps are smooth, and they function just as well when stinging other insects and they don't have problems withdrawing the sting after stinging animals.
