First see if there is a stinger still stuck in the area, if there is then try to tweezers to remove the sting, rinse the area and squeeze lightly around it to remove any pus. Then take a bandage and bandage it. Make sure you do not mess with it much, after all who would want an infection. The bee sting should not kill you unless you have an allergy to it. If you notice any swelling that continues for at least two days CONTACT A DOCTOR.

Use a dull surface such as a credit card to gently scrape the stinger out. Then you apply disinfectant. If it hurts a lot, you can apply sting relief or an ice pack.

How an you treat a wasp sting and a bee sting?

baking soda and water mixed together until it looks and feel pasty then rub it on the area. That's how you treat a bee sting-but when, at the exact time, you are stung by a bee you must try your best to get the barb out-because it contains poison. I suggest not to do this by tweezers because that squeezes more poison into your body. A knife, or ask a doctor to help, would do better.
