Bee neuropathy: A neuropathy can be caused by toxic substance exposure and depending on how multiple these stings are, a neuritis may develop transiently. However, this is not common.

Unusual: Typically, multiple bee stings do not cause neuropathy, but could trigger immune response if several at one time. We do encounter Guillain-Barre with ticks, and bowel infections, so, organisms can be carried by insects. Other than the above speculations, more likely your nerve problem due to another etiology.
