Those sterile female workers only lose their stings and die if they sting something large enough to keep them from withdrawing it. When bees are attacked by carnivorous wasps they can’t sting through their armor so they bunch around them and burn them to death, raising temperatures inside that ball of bees to over 100 degrees F killing the wasps.

I like how Dziva defused the situation. We need more Goddesses like her. Humans need a lot of defusing.
