I know that it is possible to have normal reactions to stings and to later eventually develop allergic reactions, but beyond that, I don't know. To me, bee stings are painful but not overly so, it leaves a red bump for a few minutes, and is gone. I knew an older beekeeper who stung himself intentionally every day as a preventative of arthritis (he believed).
