[QUOTE="Grant, post: 2143, member: 1"] This is a natural reaction to having poison pumped into your body. My personal views on the reaction to this are three fold: [LIST] [*]Your own body's reaction varies depending on your health at that point in time and your body's ability's to fight off the toxin. [*]The amount of poison that managed to get injected in - which is why we flick off the sting, away from the direction in went in [*]How old the bee is. I was convinced younger bees had less potent stings than older bee's from my own personal experience. I have no way to validate this claim though as I've not looked into it. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
