Venom allergy: Stinging insects including bees often leaves local swelling , itching and/or pain at the stung site. Most people after a sting would develop allergic antibody to components of the venom but only a small percentage develop anaphylaxis to them (shock, breathing problem etc). Local reactions may be treated with antihistamine, anaphylactic reaction needs an allergy consult and EpiPen on hand.
