Do you think i should have my child tested for bee sting allergies?

No: If the child has not exhibited a problem, the testing is not needed and has no value.

Depends: Testing for bee sting allergy is indicated if a systemic retain has occurred. If one only has a small local reaction then most likely no testing need to be done.
