The question reflects a common misunderstanding about the nature of bee venom. While anyone who receives a sting might think that she/he had received an acid burn, one of the main components of bee venom, mellitin, is actually a highly basic peptide which is cytotoxic or kills cells. Bee venom also contains several identified enzymes that further act to destroy tissue and, not surprisingly, are found in inflammatory cells that are drawn into the reaction to the sting. Acting specifically on local pain receptors, this
soup of reactive peptides can make the victim feel that massive damage has been done. The most dangerous aspect of a sting, however, lies in its induction of an allergic reaction; hypersensitive individuals can be at high
risk of death from their own reaction to the toxins that are allergens.
The main component of a bee sting is called mellitin – it stimulates the pain receptors of the body. The body liberates material from the blood to flush out the vemom which causes redness and swelling.
If you remove the stinger less than 15 seconds after the sting you will reduce its impact as the stinger delivers the venom up to a minute later. Bees don’t necessarily die after using their sting but do when they sting a mammal – the sting developed as a defense mechanism against other bees.
Each year 90 to 100 people in the US die from insect stings more than from snake bite or spider bite.
i think if i remember right it is battery acid

I don’t know, but if it’s the “good kind” let me know. I will go around sucking “bee acid” out of people.
