Step 1
Remove the stinger, carefully. If the stinger is incorrectly removed, it can release more venom into the person. You can use a fingernail to gently flick the stinger out of the skin.

Step 2
Use an Epi-Pen. If you've been to a doctor and diagnosed with bee sting allergies, then it is likely he gave you a self-injectable dose of epinephrine. Epinephrine is a dose of adrenaline that treats the allergic reaction.

Step 3
Take a dose of an antihistamine. A dose of an over the counter allergy reliever, like Benadryl, can reduce the severity of allergy symptoms. Reactions can include wheezing, swelling, hives and itchiness.

Step 4
Seek out medical attention. Even if you have taken a dose of epinephrine and an antihistamine, you may require additional medical care. Call your physician or go to the emergency room.

Step 5
Follow any other additional treatments recommended by medical personnel. You many need to take another dose of epinephrine and receive IV fluids.
