Here’s the working bee stinger model. I need to fix a few things, but it’s coming along.

Working on a demonstration model of a bee stinger. Bee stingers are made of two barbed lancets and a sheath. When a bee stings, the barbed lancets stick in the skin and as the bee flies away, the stinger remains behind. The venom sac continues to pump venom through the two lancets until empty.
