This bibliography is up to about 1996.

Bare in mind that being published does not mean being right. Note the
last article, "Tunget CL, Clark RF. Invasion of the 'killer' bees.
Separating fact from fiction. Postgrad Med, 1993;94 (Aug) 92-94, 97-98,
101-102. [93341967] Multiple stings (more than 50) may result in a
reaction similar to anaphylaxis from the increased toxin load. Stingers
should be removed by gentle scraping.

The title is separating fact from fiction; note the recommendation to
remove stinger by gentle scraping, which, as highlighted by the research
in my recent posting, is a part of bee sting folk lore.
