Why Are Bee Stings So Painful? The main reason why bee stings hurt as much as they do is that bee venom triggers an immediate response in your pain reception, which causes a burning sensation. Because honeybee stings remain in your skin, more venom is injected into you, causing it to hurt more.

It’s been documented that bee stings are one of the most common causes of animal-related deaths in the US.
