Content: Just like humans protect their homes from harm, bees can sting to safeguard their colony from attack. They may also sting as a form of response to an attack on any member of their colony. For bees, an attack on one is an attack on all. Do not think you can interfere with the pollen sources of a bee and go unharmed. A bee can sting at any time if it senses an interference with its food. To avoid being stung, avoid not just the bees but also their habitats. What Happens When A Bee Stings
A bee sting is characterized by the release of apitoxin through its stinger. Apitoxin is a venom containing protein substances that affect the immune system and skin, leading to instantaneous pain. This can cause many reactions ranging from temporary pain to a severe allergic reaction. However, not everyone will get the same effect every time a bee stings.
