Yes it is. If we ignore the case where the victim is hypersensitive to bee venom, where one sting can prove fatal, it is not possible to say how many stings it would take to kill a person. People have been known to die after being stung a few hundred times, and there have been people who have survived after receiving thousands of stings. A dangerous level is considered to be around two stings per kilogram of body weight.

Anyone who has been stung by a large number of bees would need hospital treatment.

If you are allergic. Sometimes the sting can also get infected - not sure if that is life threatening, though. Also if you were stung in the right place such as your throat it could be life threatening.

Is killer bee venom deadly?

The sting of the Africanised Honey Bee (Killer bee) is no more potent than another variety of honey bee.What makes them more dangerous is that they are more easily provoked, quick to swarm, attack in greater numbers, and pursue their victims for greater distances.So, it is not deadly in a single sting, but with multiple stings it can be deadly but no more than any other honey bee.Of course, if you're allergic to bee venom, even a single sting could be deadly.
