Bees don't bite, they sting (the other end of the body).
Because a stinger can continue injecting venom for up to a minute, the most important thing is to remove the sting as quickly as possible. Scrape it out using a thumbnail or something like the back of a knife or the edge of a credit card.
You can help to reduce the swelling by holding an ice cube to the sting site, or by the use of an antihistamine cream....
well i am a different person answering this question, but if you are talking about Honey bees than that person was 100% correct. but if you were talking about Yellow jackets or Wasps that do in fact BITE than you should get a pack of ice to cool down the inflammation! you have to cool it down because your body temperature has to be at 97 degrease or else you would feel very sick.... SO COOL THE INFLAMMATION DOWN!
i am another different guy and i want to point out that your body temperature needs to be 98.5 degrees F

∙ 15y agoIf someone who is hypersensitive to bee venom is stung, he could suffer from anaphylactic shock. If this happens, blood pressure drops and tissues in the throat swell up causing difficulty with breathing. The person may lose consciousness and if the condition is untreated he could die.
First aid treatment is an injection of epinephrin (also called adrenaline) followed by hospital care.
Anyone who knows they are hypersensitive to anything should carry an epipen (an automatic syringe pre-loaded with epinephrin) to use in case of an emergency, so see your medical practitioner to get one.

∙ 14y agoNot necessarily, but a sting in the throat could cause the tissues to swell sufficiently to restrict breathing. Any sting inside the mouth or throat should receive medical attention.

If the tissues of the throat swell, as they probably will after a sting, you could have difficulty breathing.

Does the queen bee die after she stings?
Yes, a bee does die, where as a wasp doesn't.
What type of bee doesnt die after stinging you?
Honey bee workers are the only ones that have barbed stings. If they are unable to withdraw the sting after stinging they will leave it behind. This causes severe internal injuries and the bee will die from those injuries. All other bees have smooth stings and have no difficulty withdrawing them. An additional point is that it is only the females that sting, not the males. The sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube), an organ that males do not have.
