As per the question, option E revises the given sentence most appropriately as it correctly employs the subject as well as the verb to reflect the consequences associated with barbing of the stinger on honeybees. The other options fail to convey the intended message due to the grammatical errors. In Option A, the modifier 'staying where it is inserted' fails to describe any specific thing in the statement while in option B, the use of 'as' and 'with' does not involve a subject. Option C proposes an incorrect statement due to the inappropriate use of 'stinger' instead of its properties and option D is incorrect due to inappropriate equation of the verb and its consequences. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.
