From a French website (translated), note particularly point 2! 
Q WHAT IS A BITE?
To defend themselves from aggression, the bee will arch his abdomen and penetrate the skin with its stinger. Unlike the sting of the bee compared to that of the wasp is its form, that of the bee is bristling while that of the wasp is smooth, and penetrating the skin tissue can be removed. After the departure of the bee and the first minute, it is assumed that 90% of the venom spread. The venom contains a substance called melittin that attacks cells and histamines that cause allergic reactions.
P FIRST SYMPTOMS
The first is acute pain followed by other symptoms such as redness, swelling, warmth, itching. If these symptoms remain localized, there is no need to worry, the pain will quickly subside and signs disappear within one to three days. These symptoms are more persistent when the person is not stuck frequently!
G TESTES REQUIRED TO FIRST Hymenoptera (bees, wasps)
1. Identify the stinging insect (bees leave the stinger in the skin).
2. Put the tip of a burning cigarette to 1 or 2 cm from the point of injection to maintain a temperature of 60 ° C for several minutes.
3. Remove the stinger with a suction venom, do not pass on the stinger with fingers or tweezers when you push all the venom under the skin. Spend a knife blade flat on the skin and lead and the stinger out.
4. Disinfect and put an ointment containing cortisone.
5. Give an antihistamine.
6. Monitor and, when in doubt, consult the nearest doctor.
7. An oral corticosteroid may be useful in case of large local reaction the next day.
8. If symptoms (generalized urticaria, difficulty breathing, fatigue, anxiety), call the emergency outpatient facilities (UAS): 15 to 112 phone and the laptop. In any event, and when in doubt we strongly recommend that you consult a doctor.
CONTENTS OF A FIRST AID KIT
The minimum composition of a first aid kit should include: cigarettes and matches, a pair (type tweezers) of good quality, a tube of topical steroids, oral antihistamines H1, an oral corticosteroid, a disinfectant, small dressings, a knife to extract the sting of a flat skin.
