How long is a bee stinger?

Too long if you ask me! Sorry...couldn't resist. I'm not sure, but I know some here will chime in!

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Don't ask a drone.............a guy can't measure some things accurately!   :-D   

I know, I know.............drones don't have stingers!

1/16th of an inch or there abouts...... long enough to hurt

I'm sure there's been a study done somewhere...MB might know. I'm also pretty sure the measurement will be in mm, another language I'm none to familiar with.

All you guys (and gals) crack me up.  Some times it is hard to get a straight (??) answer on this board....but that's what makes it fun.

Most of the time when there is no straight answer, nobody knows the answer.   I don't.

I'm jumping on board with Kathy...6 inches sounds about right!

(Kathy's got a little wicked side to her) :-D
