How does a queen bee’s stinger mainly differ from a worker bee’s?

A queen bee’s stinger is smooth, whereas a worker bee’s stinger is heavily barbed. 
Because the queen’s stinger lacks barbs, she can sting multiple times and survive. When a worker bee stings a human, her barbed stinger gets stuck in the skin. As she pulls away, the stinger tears out from her abdomen, leading to her death
