The ovipositor, from which a bee's stinger evolved, was originally used for the purpose of depositing eggs into suitable locations, such as host plants or other insects.

Bee's stingers evolved from an ovipositor, which was originally used for egg-laying. The ovipositor is a structure that is used by female insects to lay eggs, and it is located at the end of the abdomen. Over time, the ovipositor evolved into a stinger, which is used by bees for defense and communication.

Bee's stingers originally evolved from an ovipositor, which was used for laying eggs in various places. As bees evolved and became social creatures, the ovipositor became modified for defense against predators and other threats. Today, when a bee stings, it is actually depositing venom into the victim's skin.
