It only takes ten but you would have to be mentally impaired to mess with those gigantic hornets
It depends if there allergic what type of bee it is and how old the person is reallyIt depends on the individual 'victim'. It can be as few as a single sting - or many hundreds.

Dock leaves are alkaline - they neutralise the formic acid in nettle stings
yes it can kill you. it is a pain killer but if you take too much it can kill you.
The insect that has the most potent venom belongs to the ants in the Pogonomyrmex genus. This tiny little insect can kill a 2kg mammal (such as a rat or a rabbit) with only twelve stings. These ants could kill a human with between 350 to 450 stings, without an allergic reaction taking place. To put this in perspective, to get the same reaction from a honey bee, it would take well over 10,000 stings. -Found in: 'What is the most poisonous insect?'
Any drug can kill you if you take too much.
Ants can approxamently carry 50 times their own weight or more.
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.
You shouldn't need to take out a hornet sting. The hornet's sting is smooth and firmly attached to its body so it has no difficulty removing it as it flies away. If a sting has been left behind it was probably that of a honey bee.
