Question - Where do honey bees live, our third grade classes want to
know how to get a stinger out if you get one stuck in you?
---------------------------------------
Here is a web site that will tell you a lot about how bees live and make
honey.

A stinger can be removed by gently pulling with a tweezers, somewhat like
pulling out a splinter.
