Probably : Some people are very sensitive to bee stings, and even a single sting can lead to allergic reaction called: anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be serious and may involve swelling of the tongue and back of the throat making breathing difficult. That is why some folks carry an epi-pen in case of an emergency like bee stings. Also, the more bee stings one receives, the reaction is worse. Ask your dr.
