Bee stings are a threat throughout North America. The normally passive bee can deliver a painful and sometimes dangerous sting if provoked or if its hive is threatened.
The bee venom delivers a combination of protein toxins and histamine, creating an inflammatory reaction and intense pain which can last for hours.
It is important to teach our children to recognize bees and to know that this social insect is not normally aggressive and to leave them alone. However in the South Western States a hybrid bee, called the Africanized Bee, can be very defensive and aggressive even 100 feet away from its hive.
Of the various species of bees in North America the Honey bee is the most common. It is also the only bee which has a barb to its sting. A Honey bee barb lodges in the skin and tears the poison sack out of the bee’s abdomen when it flies away. The damage will invariably cause the bee to die.
Treating bee stings with TPR20 immediately after being stung has two benefits: it of course relieves the pain quickly, but it will also stop the inflammation which causes the swelling.

Please note that some people have the risk of an acute immune reaction to bee stings called anaphylaxis. This requires immediate medical attention and treatment with epinephrine or similar drugs. The airways can become closed and first aid to maintain air flow is essential. Many of those at risk know this and carry emergency medication.
