Summary

Content: This is especially important if you work close to bees and are more at risk of bee stings. An allergy specialist might recommend immunotherapy, which is a series of allergy shots. This will prevent severe reactions in the future. Bee Venom
When a bee stings, it injects a venom, which contains a mix of different proteins, including melittin. The venom affects the immune system and skin cells, which causes swelling and redness. Melittin, in particular, stimulates the body’s pain receptors. It also destroys cells as it breaks the membrane (outer layer of the cell) apart. Honeybee venom actually contains anticoagulation properties. Studies have shown that it has an effect on blood clots. It’s not only the honeybee that stings.
