Yes. If they are allergic to the bee's venom. Without treatment they can go into anaphylactic shock and die. This is not very common though. Most people who are allergic are very cautious.

Can bees poison their vitims if so how?
They don't poison people, but some are allergic to bee stings.
How long does it take for a bee to die after stinging someone?
People don't usually die after being stung by a bee. If bee stings were fatal I would be dead quite a few times over by now.A small number of people are highly allergic to bee venom, and in the worst case the reaction can cause anaphylactic shock which can be fatal if not treated immediately.If, on the other hand, you mean how long does it take the bee to die then if she loses her sting this can take anything from a couple of hours up to about 24 hours.A bee that doesn't lose her sting won't die for any reason to do with having stung.
Can you give 3 examples of neutralisation in the home?
if you put vinegar on wasp stings it will help because wasp stings have alkali in it and vinegar is a weak acid but bee stings are different they are acidic so if you put toothpaste on it it will help (try not to get bee stings mixed up with wasp stings because it will hurt even more if you put toothpaste on wasp stings or vinegar on bee stings)
Bee stings are often treated with ammonium hydroxide why?
Bee stings are acidic so it should be treated with an alkali such as ammonium hydroxide or calamine that can neutralize the acid.
Are horse allgeric to bee stings?
Horses can be allergic to bee stings and well as other bug bites. I have a horse that's allergic to fly bites and she looks like she has tumors cause they get so big!
Is there a certain gender for bees that sting?
Yes, only the females sting. All worker bees are sterile females. Their stingers are barbed and are left in the wound after the bee stings. This is fatal to the bee, it only stings once then dies a rather painful death. The queen bee has a barbless stinger so can sting and not die but are very disinclined to do so for some reason.
Do you have a better chance of dying from a bee sting or a bear?
There are far more fatalities from people getting bee or wasp stings than being attacked by a bear, so the former, not the latter.
Can male bee sing?
No, male bees (drones) do not have a sting. Worker bees (all female) have a barbed sting which is left behind when the bee stings. The bee will then die. The queen bee has a smooth sting which she can withdraw, so she is able to sting more than once.
Do acids help bee stings or wasp stings better?
No. Bee venom is acidic anyway, and wasp venom is chemically neutral, so in neither case will any form of acid help.
Why remove bee stings carfully?
So that you minimize the amount of venom entering your body.
Why do you put milk on bee stings?
You put milk on a bee sting because a bee sting is full of acid and by putting an alkali solution on the sting it neutralises the sting (balances it out) so the sting doesnt hurt.
Are tarantulas like a bee sting?
No of course not!! You would be dead because a tarantula bites and a bee stings. A bee does not kill you but there is a high chance a tarantula would. So the answer is no!
