As long as you are not having trouble breathing you will be ok. If you are go to the hospital you could be allergic.
If not the sting site will be sore for a few days.
If you look and can not see the stinger just put antibiotic ointment on the spot and keep it clean.
If the stinger is still there it will work its way out after a few days.
Bee stings are sort of painful for as small as they are. It takes about 5-7 days for them to clear up on me. They tend to itch a lot after a day or two.

get a magnifying glass and have a look. Bee stings will be sore even after all the sting is out. Use an ice cube to numb the area :) and if you have trouble breathing or anything, call an ambulance as you are probably having an allergic reaction.

If you haven't suffered an allergic reaction to the sting, and you can no longer see the sting embedded in your skin, then you should be fine.
However, bee venom is an acidic irritant. To reduce the pain of a bee sting, you can use some bicarbonate of soda dissolved in warm water. This will help ease the pain of it a little.
Although if you are really worried about it, I would make an appointment with your doctor :)

It is best to consult your medical man. But there is nothing too worrying about it since bee sting is not at all fatal or cause serious problems.
In fact there is a study that bee sting is beneficial and prevents cancers and tumors in humans.

take a magnifying glass and look for a small black object in sting it is visible on the outside if it is there
if it is do not use tweezers to remove as this injects more venom use a credit card od drivers license and scrape it off

Rub the edge of a credit card against it. That usually gets the stinger out.

Its probably just a welt. You handle a lot of things with your hands and fingers so it probably hurts from too much stimulation.
