Looking at honeybees I would say they haven't any "warning coloration", they are almost cryptic.
​
Have you ever tried looking at them with your eyes open?
​
Because the stings obviously play no role in aposematism of wasps ...
​
What a strange lie.
​
I'd ask you if you had any evidence for it, only having read this thread I know that the answer is no.

Honey-bees have no way "aposematic coloration".
​
What a stupid, stupid lie.
​
​
Note the classic yellow and black aposematic coloration, you stupid pathetic liar.
​
You notice how you can't support your position without drooling out stupid patheitc lies?
​
That's 'cos you're wrong.

The problem of bright coloration of catterpilars was a puzzle for Darwin. As far as I know he insisted on natural selection even if in this case it doesn't work. He said somethig like " I will believe in Natural selection even if in this case (bright coloration of caterpillars) it is not valid explanation of the phenomena".
​
He said nothing of the sort.
