Answer 2

Yes. But hardly anyone does. Some people have a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting and if they don't receive medical attention they could die but it is a very unusual occurrence.

A bit more:

If you are allergic to them, your first sting will produce a severe reaction, but if you get stung a second time (even years later) that sting will be far more likely to kill you than the first sting.

If you are allergic, you can take allergy shots, which will diminish the allergic reaction if you were to be stung again. There are also self-injecting needles (Epi-pens) that those who are allergic can keep with them at all times in case of a bee sting to help prevent anaphylaxis (allergic shock) and death.

But you don't have to be allergic for the stings to be fatal if you are stung by a lot of bees at one time. Many people have died from being stung by a swarm of bees.

Answer 3

There's not enough venom in one bee sting to kill most adults. It would take several hundred or even thousands of stings to do that.

However, if the victim is hypersensitive to the venom then a single sting could cause a severe reaction, anaphylaxis which, if not very treated quickly, can kill.
