The African honey bee, known as the “death bee”, is much more dangerous than domestic honey bees and attacks people in groups.

 Because these bees are stronger than other bees, they are the most common species in America.

 The sting of these bees is barbed and remains in the victim’s body after the bite. 

 Therefore, each bee can only sting a person once. The function of the internal organs of the bee body depends on the existence of the sting. So, after stinging, losing it, the bee dies.

Red wasps look large and intimidating, while they are usually free-ranging and only attack when provoked.

They fly slowly, have a loud buzzing sound and are easily seen from a distance.

The sting of this group of bees is not barbed and does not remain in the victim. Therefore, a bee can sting several times.

The honey bee usually has a hanging hive and is harmless, although its sting can be dangerous

. The bite of these insects does not remain in the body of the victim. Therefore, each bee can sting repeatedly.

The yellow bee usually lives in its hive, which is close to the surface of the ground. This bee is considered an attack and can sting several times like a domestic bee. These bees are often seen around food waste bins or in tourist areas, around sweets or sugary drink bottles. Usually, the places that are infected with these sweet edibles, such as the lips, mouth or tongue, are common places of bites. Bees that are yellow-faced or white-faced live in trees and bushes and are usually able to sting several times.

If the bees are still flying around you after being stung, it is better to remain calm and do not try to kill them. They may attack you again and you will suffer more bites. It is best to move away from the area slowly, because when a bee stings, it releases a chemical and other bees are also called to the area. The honey bee is the only insect of the Hymenoptera order that leaves its sting in the human body after being bitten. So the best thing to do is to remove it with a narrow and pointed tool like a small knife.

  The most important next step is to inject epinephrine without waiting for clinical symptoms to appear. After the injection of epinephrine, it is better to transfer the patient to the nearest emergency room for continued treatment and observation.

Do not use sprays, perfumes, and strong colognes, as well as body-scented soaps.

Do not wear bright colored clothing outdoors, as it is very irritating and attractive to bees.

When you are outside, do not approach flowers that have nectar and bloom.

Do not eat sweet foods outside the house.

Wear long-sleeved clothes, hats, and gloves when you are out for fun or for any reason.

Wear shoes and socks when walking.

Make sure the car windows are up while driving.

Carefully inspect the surroundings of the house and make sure that there are no beehives.

Always carry an epinephrine ampoule with you in case you get stung.

It is better to carry a medical alert bracelet with the type of allergy and emergency measures written on it. This bracelet is very useful and lifesaving in situations where you have severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock and you are unable to communicate with anyone.

Ask your doctor to explain about starting vaccine therapy or immunotherapy to reduce symptoms and treat allergies.
