When you get a bee sting, what you want to do is re-
move the stinger as soon as possible (within 2 seconds
if possible), since venom starts pumping into you from
the stinger.  To remove it, use a fingernail and brush
it off in the direction of the base of the stinger
(the side lodged in you) to the top of the stinger.

You don't need to worry about killing the bee.  The
venom sac attached to the stinger was part of the bee's
abdomen, so the bee is toast and will die by itself.
It can't sting you again.

See you.

Eric

Ps. No swearing.
