Introduction. The 16th-century Spanish explorer and conquistador Hernando de Soto (c. 1496-1542) arrived in the West Indies as a young man and went on to make a fortune in the Central American slave trade. He supplied ships for Francisco Pizarroâs southward expedition and ended up accompanying Pizarro in his conquest of Peru in 1532.

Some bees and wasps do not possess stingers. In groups that can sting, only females have stingers because a stinger is a modified egg-laying structure. Wasps sting repeatedly because their stingers are smooth. A bee stings only once because it has a barbed stinger that remains embedded in the victim's skin.
