A Stinger is an item commonly dropped by a Bee or Killer Bee when killed. It is an ingredient in Sleep Darts.

Stingers can be obtained by either killing Bees or Killer Bees with Weapons, or with the help of other Mobs, or by catching Bees or Killer Bees with a Bug Net then murdering them in the inventory. If the player or any mob attacks a Bee (including catching them with the Bug Net) remaining members of the same Bee Hive (or Bee Box) will emerge as Killer Bees and all members of the hive in the vicinity will target the attacker.

As Stingers are a very common drop from Bees and Killer Bees, they can easily become clutter in vanilla Don't Starve and Reign of Giants, especially given that it is only used for Sleep Darts, and Jet Feathers are tricky to obtain from Crows in the early game and Cut Reeds are dangerous to obtain due to Tentacles lurking in the Marsh. Stingers can also be set on fire to turn them into Ashes.
