Debarbed Bees
by DRECUBED
Debarbed Bees is a datapack that changes how bees handle their stingers, so a bee survives after it has attacked.
What it does
Bees stop losing their stingers and stop dying after an attack. The datapack is a server-side addition, so only the server needs it, while players can join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.21.9 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the 26.2 file as the latest release, and the work is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
Key features
Bees keep their stingers
A bee that stings a target keeps its stinger and does not die from the attack.
Optional poison removal
A setting can turn off the poison effect that bee stings normally apply.
Datapack installation
The change is delivered as a datapack, so it can be added to a world or server without a separate mod install on players' side.

What the author says
Optionally can disable the poison effect given from bee stings, since technically an unbarbed stinger probably(?) wouldn't do that very well
