I don't use any kind of painkillers, but as a sideliner, I am fairly allergic to bee stings.  I have even experienced systemic reactions from a bee sting: got itchy palms, itchy feet and broke out in hives (not bee hives, unfortunately) within 1 minute after being stung in the elbow.  That is a bad sign and harbinger of a potentially dramatic reaction in the future.  So, I always have Benedryl and a cell phone with me in the apiary.
