How to diagnose a bee sting allergy in yourself?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See an allergist: The best way to diagnosis allergy to stinging insects is via skin testing. Allergists use different venoms to test for such allergies, and testing can take 1-2 hours. There are also blood tests to help make the diagnosis.

Venom testing: If one has an allergic reaction to bee sting then venom skin testing and / or venom blood testing is indicated.
