Bee stings are not fatal. It is painful while the stringent is inside the skin. Rubbing the string with an iron key removes the stringent as an instant remedy. If the string is dexterously treated, it will take two to three days to recover. You can also be allergic to wasp-string, so treat it before its sore. It doesn't cause any life-threatening issues. Precaution will always be better than cure. One can just resist from annoying the bees and stay string-free.
