I don't think that is strictly true. In the past 16 years I have gotten
several hundred stings (many intentional, I must admit, for
therapeutical purposes) and they still hurt. What has happened to me,
is the psychological aspect of the sting has disappeared. It is simply
a minor pain, among many minor pains we humans experience every day. I
would prefer a bee sting to a paper cut any day.
