"If a honey bee stings you. You will notice that the bee leaves a little white stinger behind in your skin and then leaves and that stinger is what has the venom. That is what makes the sting hurt and some people have a reaction to that as well. When you see the little stinger you don't pinch it out because what you doing then is your squeezing more of the venom into your skin and it will hurt longer. You simply scratch it out with your finger nail and you would get less venom that way. If your allergic to bee stings you could use an epinephrine injector or something like that if your like most people not really allergic to bee stings a you get a bee sting people say well how do you treat that I have heard all kind of things. You know you put different a ice pack or you put a piece of cucumber or whatever all kind of things you hear about to do that and what it really means to me is anything that you can keep yourself buzzy doing while the, its hurting by the time you get that applied its going to stop hurting anyway. So I don't worry to much about any of the treatment of the bee sting."
