Yes, just like any other animal with hair or fur, the dander from the skin, hair, and fur is the usual allergen. So, often if you have an allergy to dogs, you do to other animals, not always, but often. Sometimes, if they start young, they will ease up as you age, but many times if they are acquired at an older age, they are more severe. There can be other factors, everything that goes along with a horse and therefore, someone is exposed to when they are with a horse. Hay, dust, grasses, wheat, feed, shampoos, and anything else used on the horse to discourage flies, ticks, horse flies, and all the other insects drawn to horses. So,when someone is touching a horse they are touching everything the horse has been exposed to. The best thing to do is give up and see a Dr. who can test you for different Allergies, once you know what the monster is you can take the proper measures for your allergy.

Every horse is different, just like people, so yes it is possible for a horse to be allergic to a bee sting.

Some horses can be highly allergic to bee stings and some horses may almost not notice the sting at all.

If you are not sure if your horse is allergic to bee stings you should ask your vet for advice but you should always call your vet if you think that it seems as though your horse is over-reacting to a sting because he might need urgent veterinary treatment.

A bee sting on a horse is not a serious threat to the animal. The only exception is if the horse is allergic. A bee sting can be left to heal on its own. If there is an allergic reaction, a vet should treat the horse.

The bee sting has a little hook on the end, so it sticks in the horse and the bee dies. You should scratch the sting off the horse with your fingernail or something sharp. The sting will keep pulsing for a few seconds, so by scratching it off quickly you can stop some venom going in. If it's just a normal bee the horse will get a little excited, perhaps, but it's nothing to worry about, if you can control the horse.
