The venom is what causes the pain, redness, swelling, and itching. The stinger will continue to pump the venom into your skin until you remove it. The longer the stinger remains in your skin. The worse the pain will be. Always wear shoes on your feet.
Most bee stings happen when people step on a bee with their bare feet.
Wear white or solid light colored clothing. Bees are attracted to dark colors and prints. Avoid walking through gardens or orchards. Bees like to nest in gardens and orchards. If you see a bee, remain calm and cool.
