What's the recommended initial treatment for multiple bee stings?

Assuming one is not allergic: get the stingers out, ice, benadryl               
(diphenhydramine) for swelling and itching, and avoid multiple stings.          
Even if one is not allergic, enough toxin can be injected to make one           
sick.  Any trouble breathing or swallowing - call 911
