lizards birds and bees

[Brado78]

hello, everyone I was watching a nature documentary on birds that eat bees and lizards eating bees as well, I was wondering, how are these animals can eat and swallow bees whole without getting stung? Thanks a lot

Usually, the predator isn't effected by the toxins of one of its primary prey species compared to how that would effect other species. It could still be stung, but the venom wouldn't bother it.
