A bee allergy is an allergic reaction to the sting of a bee. A reaction can be relatively minor, such as itching and welts, however it can also be more serious with dizziness, massive swelling, trouble breathing, low blood pressure, shock, and even death. Prompt treatment is vital, as symptoms can occur within minutes. Emergency help is often needed.
