A bee stinger can remain lodged in your skin for several hours if not removed. The stinger is attached to a venom sac, which continues to pump venom into the skin until it is removed. It's important to promptly remove the stinger by gently scraping it out with a flat object, as this can minimize the amount of venom injected. If you experience severe pain, swelling, or an allergic reaction, seek medical attention.
