Hi,
at the risk of stinging this subject to death, here's a
extensive review article of bee venom and its consequences;
Dotimas,E.M.;Hider,R.C.
'Honeybee venom'
BEE WORLD (1987) vol2: 51-70
From the archives of the Beenet, here are some more references on the subject, that might come in handy for those who plan to write a FAQ on the subject:
