My 3 yr old got stung by a bee a week ago now she is scared to go outside and shakes she is so scared what can i do?

Reassure: Bee stings hurt and at age 3 it makes sense to do whatever you can to not be stung again. I would recommend going easy and gently towards reassurance. Perhaps set up something very brief and very fun right outside the door. Have your 3 year old forget about going outside and focus instead on jumping out the door for the fun and then allowing immediate return inside. Repeat, note the safety.
