What would you see when you have been stung by a bee?

If you have been stung by a bee, you would see the barb (stinger) protruding from your skin and you should remove it as soon as possible to prevent any more venom from entering your body. You would also see a swelling in the region of the sting. However, if you have been stung by a wasp, the barb will have been withdrawn by the wasp and you will only see the swelling and a small pinprick hole.
