I sectioned and stained honey bee and yellow jacket stingers years ago. They wanted to show the difference between the stingers. I wasn't sure what to do so I processed and handled like everything else. I was able to get some good sections. I put 6 stingers in each block and cut several sections figuring there should be at least one good stinger in each block and it worked.

Has anyone had experience embedding and cutting honey bees. I am sure there are some issues with the harder exoskeleton. Would that have to be dissected away first. I am considering helping a student with a science fair project on bees.
