Yes, bees have poison in their stingers, but it is not very much. It hardley has any effect on a human (unless you are allergic to the bees poison) the poison in the bees stingers only forms a hive around the sting. The main reason for them is to defend themselves or their hive if they sense potential danger.

∙ 10y agoYes, when bees sting, part of their thorax separates, containing a venom sac connected to the barbed stinger, which remains in the skin and continues to pump a poison called apitoxin into the wound.
Apitoxin induces an inflammatory response and also acts as an anticoagulant.

baking soda and water mixed together until it looks and feel pasty then rub it on the area.
