Note: A dead beeâs stinger can sting you, and the force of your weight on the beeâs body can result in venom injection. So, donât step on, sit on, or play with dead bees.
The extent of the swelling depends upon the site of the bee sting. Some body parts tend to swell more than the others. For instance, you will notice a considerable swelling, if the bee stung you on face, as opposed to hands or legs. You can reduce the swelling from bee sting by immediately applying a pack of ice.
