Bees only attack when they feel that themselves or their colony is in danger. The best way to avoid being attacked by bees is not getting close to their nesting area and not threatening the solitary bees. Only queen bees and worker bees can sting while male bees can't (the main function of these male bees, also known as drones, is to mate with the queen bee). After a bee stings, the stinger and the venom is left in their victim's skin. This causes the death of the bee because when they try to fly away they leave their abdomen behind. The stinger of a honey bee keeps pumping poison after the bee is gone, so we must remove it as soon as possible, scraping it with your fingernail, the edge of a credit card or similar. A single sting only causes irritation in the human body, while an attack by a swarm of bees can cause death.It is said that a 1% of the population is allergic to the bee's venom. If you are stung by a bee and you have allergic symptoms such as difficulty breathing and swallowing, rapid pulse, anxiety, hives and dizziness you must look for emergency medical attention immediately.
