I'm allergic to bees will this cause a reaction?

Very possibly: If you are truly allergic this is a potentially serious issue. Speak with your doctor about carrying an epi-pen.

Depends: If the reaction was merely swelling localized to a single area, no treatment is needed. However if you have an anaphylactic reaction (fainting, breathing problem, choking etc) , then you need to consult an allergist asap. Since an anaphylactic reaction is potentially fatal.
