I got stung by a grey honeybee wednesday. now have raised hives or rash two inches around the entire area of the sting. normal? itch and some pain..

ITCHY BEE STING: This can be a normal response. An oral antihistamine can alleviate the itching and an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream, applied in a thin layer two or three times daily may get rid of the swelling. It is not contagious.
