Bee stings can be very painful. This pain can be alleviated by placing an ice pack on the site of the sting. Tylenol can also be taken to reduce pain over time.

The sting of an Africanized honey bee (proper name for what Hollywood and the sensationalist media call the 'killer bee') is no worse than the sting of any other variety of bee.

And the variety of bee makes no difference.
