Yes, bees have poison in their stingers, but it is not very much. It hardley has any effect on a human (unless you are allergic to the bees poison) the poison in the bees stingers only forms a hive around the sting. The main reason for them is to defend themselves or their hive if they sense potential danger.

baking soda and water mixed together until it looks and feel pasty then rub it on the area.
