Do bees know that they die if they sting?

Came upon this question while talking about bee stings. I know there probably is no definite answer to this, but are there any theories?

Putting aside any speculation about the capacity of a bee to have knowledge, bee stings are not designed to be fatal to the bee.  The bee only dies when it stings a creature whose skin is thick enough to "catch" the stinger, like a mammal.

So, even if a bee had the sort of cognitive capacity to have expectations, then it would not generally expect to be killed upon stinging another creature.
