Answer:

They use their sense of smell..

Step-by-step explanation:

Bees know what the bees within their hive smell like.

Intruders will smell different and they will sting the intruder.

(Interesting fact: When honey bees sting, they release pheromones that stir up nearby bees. One stinging bee can turn into hundreds or even thousands of stinging bees in just a short time.)
