Waldemar asks:
How do they 'define' a sting?  Does a person need to let a sting pump in all
of its venom before removing it?

Leaving the sting in for approx. fifteen minutes is the way the apitherapy
people define a sting in the seminar I attended (MSBA meeting 1994).

I rarely remove the stinger when busy working bees but I do usually smoke
the sting area.
