Group of women (nymphs) in classical robes, playing music next to a fountain. One woman has been stung by a bee and is lying on the ground. A bee sting is a sting from a bee (honey bee, bumblebee, sweat bee, etc.). The stings of most of these species can be quite painful, and are therefore keenly avoided by many people. A honey bee that is away from the hive foraging for nectar or pollen will rarely sting, except when stepped on or roughly handled.
