Point me to something concerning this bee.
{quoteThen how come that a bee still dies after it has stung an enemy, shouldnt a minor adjustment had taken place during that long time thus enabling it to reproduce more frequently.]
Bees, except for the queen and a few males during mating season, are all sterile. They would not have reproduced anyway. Unless enough of them die to effect the survival of the queen, the reproductive fitness of the hive is uneffected.

Or there is a fish, Im sorry but ive forgot the name but youll maybe recognise it anyway, that for the last 10-20 million years has crawled on its belly and its small fins up from the water it lives in for a journey out in the swamps , thus in most cases enabling its death, (it has no structure that even resembles a leg and it has no lungs), shouldnt natural selection making it easy for this poor fish.
There are several varieties of 'walking' fish. You need to be specific if you want a decent answer.
