Cellulitis: It is likely that when the bee stinger entered his skin, it brought with it bacteria that was on the surface of his skin. This delayed redness and swelling is a sign of infection in the skin in and around the sting site. It will require a visit to a Dr for antibiotics. If left untreated it could spread and ultimately cause a blood infection.
