Bee sting. For other uses, see Bee sting (disambiguation). A bee sting is a sting from a bee (honey bee, bumblebee, sweat bee, etc.). The stings of most of these species can be quite painful, and are therefore keenly avoided by many people.

In particular, bee stings are acidic, whereas wasp stings are alkali.
