A bee creates its own venom during its first 17 days of life. It does not -- indeed, cannot -- transfer venom from any other creature.

Do bee needles have poison?

Bees do not have needles, but they have stingers. The stinger is barbed and contains venom, which can cause pain and inflammation if injected into a person or animal. Honey bees die after stinging due to the barbed stinger becoming stuck and ripping out of their bodies.


How do you get a bee needle out?

The best way to get a bee stinger out without squeezing more venom into your skin is to use your fingernails. Gently scrape along your skin in the direction of the poison sac (the rounded bit at the non-pointy end of the stinger). Try not to press down on the sac because that will just pump more venom in. If you tug gently, the stinger will pop back out of your skin. You can then wash the area. If it hurts a lot, you can take some Tylenol or Advil, and can also take some Benadryl for the swelling and itching.


What happens if stung by a hornet?

Unlike most bee species which can only sting once before dying, a wasp can inflict multiple stings. A wasp does not die after stinging (naturally that is). Depending on the species and the victim's tolerance level, the wasp venom may result in minor burning, itching to extreme swelling which will subside in a few days. Those with allergic reactions may require hospitalization and with more severe reactions, fatalities have been known to occur.
