> Perhaps some of this is due to the site of the sting and whether or not
it hits an artery/vein.
A sting in artery is worse for obvious reasons!
>newly hatched bees don't sting but haven't seen any studies that discuss
age and venom amount/toxicity.
Up to three days before the venom is noticed I have been told and what I
have observed with stings of newly emerged bees in the honey house. Newly
emerged bees are more curious than aggressive but when mashed on a frame
inject the stinger.
