Scrape it out using a thumbnail or the back of a knife or the edge of something like a credit card.
A bee sting can continue injecting venom for up to a minute after the bee has gone, so the most important thing is to get the sting out as quickly as possible.
Scrape the bee sting off with a credit card or a drivers license. If that doesn't do try pulling it out . Find more out onwww.eHow.com and type in " what is the best method for removing bee stings?"
Whatever you do don't pinch it or use tweezers. It can inject more poison into your body.
The best way to remove a stinger is to scrape it out with the edge of a stiff piece of paper or credit card.
Scrape it with a knife or credit card or something similar. Never squeeze it because you will allow more venom into the puncture wound. Tweezers would be a bad idea, because that will squeeze more poison into the cut.
just slide your finger along and it should brush out
Take a credit card or something similar and brush it over the bee sting, it should get it out. That's what they teach you to do in the first aid training class.

You are correct, it is called a stinger.[1] ---- Actually, stinger is the colloquial term. It is more properly called a sting. (See the related link)
A worker honey bee's sting is barbed, so after she has thrust it into the victim she cannot pull it back out. When the bee pulls away, the sting remains behind, together with the venom sac and often part of the intestine. The resulting damage is fatal to the bee. A queen bee has a smooth sting so she can withdraw the sting and re-use it. Drones (male bees) don't have a sting.
A bees stinger has a hook on the end, like a fish hook, so when the bee tries to get away after stinging someone it actually pulls the stinger and venom gland out of its body, mortally wounding the bee. A person should scrape the stinger out rather than trying to pinch it and pull it out, which pushes more venom in. The amount of reaction one has from a sting is entirely up to that persons body. It can range from a mild sting and itch to a full blown allergic reaction that closes the persons throat and can cause death.
They do sting. They can't live without their stinger
If it is a good sting, the venom sac will remain with the stinger. If the bee keeps the stinger, he will live. While some bee species, like the honey bee can only sting once before dying; some bees species, like the bumblebee, can sting multiple times and still live. this is because the honey bee stinger is barbed and tears off whie stinging, while the bumblebee has a smooth stinger that does not tear off while stinging.

Get the stinger out
If you meant a 'bee stinger' - then yes. Unlike wasps, the sting of a bee has a tiny barb - when a bee stings something, the barb makes the sting stay put. This means the sting pulls out of the bees body - killing the bee in the process.
The stinger is on the back end of the bee, wasp, or hornet.
once. the sting the bee gives causes the stinger to release into the person and tear from the bee itself. The bee thus soon reportedly dies as a result of the removal of its stinger.

because they dont have a stinger.
A bee sting is a hypodermic puncture from a bee, resulting in the introduction of venom to the human body, often through the penetration and lodging of a stinger.
A wasp's sting. The wasp sting is worse because their stinger is smooth making them able to pull it out smoothly and shove it in again. A bee's stinger is barbed like a fishing hook so they can't pull it out.

A honey bee worker is the only bee that has a barbed sting which gets stuck, all other bees have a smooth sting which can easily be withdrawn.
A bee's stinger is modified ovipositor, the organ that a female bee uses to lay eggs. For worker bees, which are sterile, their ovipositor has evolved into a stinger only. For queen bees, the stinger does double duty as a stinger and an egg layer. Bees without stingers are most likely male. If there exists species of stingless bees, then the ovipositor did not evolve into a stinger organ for those species.
