A bee will survive a sting when an aggressor has soft and thin skin, like most insects have. When an aggressor has a harder and thicker skin, as humans have, the stinger will stay inside the skin. The stinger is attached to the venom pouch. Once they are left behind in the skin the bee dies – literally of a ruptured abdomen.
Many people, who are afraid of being stung, react aggressively towards bees, trying to chase them away. The best advice is – REMAIN CALM. Moving slowly away give them some food or water /soft drink in a container and they will leave you alone. Keep doing whatever it is that you are doing and let the bee do its work. Remember, they too like sweet things as we do.

However, should you be stung, the best measure is not to to pick the stinger with fingers as most people do, but to scrape it away using any flat, hard object like a nail or a credit card.
Most people are not allergic to bee stings, although the reaction to the sting can be unpleasant – slight pain, itch or swelling.
A small number of people are highly allergic to bee stings and every consecutive sting poses a serious health threat, even life threatening. It is absolutely essential to have the necessary medication close by at all times.
