A bee sting hurts more than a needle because its stinger is covered in tiny backward-facing barbs. These barbs tear into the skin as the stinger goes in and make it difficult to pull out smoothly. A needle, by contrast, is smooth and clean, designed to slide in with minimal tissue damage. On top of the physical injury, a bee injects venom that triggers pain receptors and inflammation. The combination of mechanical tearing and chemical irritation is what makes a bee sting feel so intense.
