it just means that it is starting to heal. As long as you don't itch it, it will soon go away. But if you have a rash around it or its swelling this could mean your allergic. I would see a doctor about it if you have those things happen. Hope I help you out.

Because they leave the sting inside which causing swelling due to the nerve it hits and until u take the sting out or till it falls out it will stay swollen.

However, not all bees and wasps leave their stingers inside you when they sting. There is a very small amount of poison in wasp and bee stings. This poison is enough to kill smaller creatures, but human beings are resistant to it enough that the poison only causes minor swelling.

A certain amount of swelling after a bee sting is quite a normal reaction. Seek medical help if it becomes excessive.

This is the way your body protects you from a sting.

Because the formic acid in the sting irritates your skin and flesh and causes a swelling.
