Why did his arms, legs, and pelvis snap off the rest of the skeleton?

Also I may be mistaken, but can’t bees sting things their size just fine? They just get their stinger stuck in humans (and probably other creatures). I think in this case he could sting and pull out just fine, but who knows?

Iinm it's because of how thick and elastic human skin are, the stinger will stuck to human skin and the bee will have a hard time pulling it out. Some will have it unstuck and live, some will die. For animal of same size, they will pull it out just fine

Also the stinger will attach to the venom sack and not spine(bee have exoskeleton). It dies because unfortunately the venom sack is also attach to their other organ and also a large open wound.
