Bees will wait for you to come up for air. Once you are away from the bees, evaluate the situation. If you have been stung more than 15 times, or if you are having any symptoms other than local pain and swelling, seek medical attention immediately. If you see someone else being stung or think others are in danger, call 911 immediately. Remove stingers as soon as possible to lessen the amount of venom entering the body.
Scrape stingers the skin with a blunt instrument or plastic card.
