Can honeybees sting smaller animals/ insects without losing their stingers?

I was told that bees only lose their stingers when stinging humans because our skin is too thick, but they can happily sting insects/ small animals multiple times.

The barbs on the stingers of honey bee workers are designed to catch on the skin of larger animals (bears, skunks, people). They do not catch on the exoskeletons other insects. Honey bees can sting other honey bees (which happens during robbing) and insects without losing their stingers. 

Queens don't have barbs and can sting larger creatures multiple times, they typically don't however.
