- dheera 3y agoThe actual stinger of bees doesn't hurt that much, it's the venom that really hurts. I always wondered whether a bee stinger would get deep enough in an elephant's (presumably very thick) dead skin layer to inject venom.
- hot_gril 3y ago"Of course, a bee’s stinger can’t penetrate the thick hide of an elephant. But when bees swarm—and African bees swarm aggressively—hundreds of bees might sting an elephant in its most sensitive areas, like the trunk, the mouth, and eyes. And it hurts."
- lbourdages 3y agoI've been stung by a bee inside my mouth (inner lip) as a kid. I would not recommend.
- reason-mr 3y agoCame here to say this. If you had a super long, very sensitive, trunk with a huge bee attracting hole at one end that bees could fly into and then sting inside, you'd be scared of them too .....
