only if you are allergic to bees on if a lot of them sting you
A bit more:
If the sting was on your face, then yes, some swelling will occur. But if the sting was not on your face, then that is a symptom of an allergic reaction. If that's the case, you need to call or go to a doctor or ER immediately. Also, if your throat and/or tongue begins to swell, get help ASAP.
If this is the first time you've been stung by a bee, and the signs indicate it is an allergic reaction, then you need to see your doctor about getting an Epi pen (Epinephrine) to keep with you AT ALL TIMES. When a person is allergic to bees, wasps, etc., the reaction to the second sting is almost always much worse, and can even be fatal.
