Bites, stings and scratches: mosquitoes, wasps, ticks, dog bites and cat scratches, sentence 9

A honeybee's sting has barbs and stays in the skin, so the bee dies after stinging, while a wasp's sting is smooth and can sting again; a grown-up scrapes a bee sting out with a fingernail or card, and cold water and a cool cloth help.

Who acts: sting, bee, grown up, honeybee, wasp · What happens: have, stay, die, sting, be, scrape out · To what, where: barbs, skin, bee sting

This is a sentence of the lesson «Bites, stings and scratches: mosquitoes, wasps, ticks, dog bites and cat scratches» of the biology course of Mova's primary school.
