As I've been listening to Mythos recently, I must point out that it is also because Zeus cursed the Bee > In his final response on the matter he declared that she will be a Queen of a colony of workers that will aid her in gathering honey. However, Greek Gods were never truly honourable in their wishes unless it benefitted them directly. In addition to her swarm of workers she was also granted a fatal sting, but this sting would be fatal to her or her colony if they ever used it on another. It was from then on that the honeybees’ was barbed; meaning that if their weapon was ever to be “deployed” that the individual that used their sting would not survive the attack. https://crawliomics.wordpress.com/2019/06/12/zeus-the-honeybee-and-the-sting/ https://crawliomics.wordpress.com/2019/06/12/zeus-the-honeyb...
