Bumblebees are insects found in the natural environment of many countries. They are larger and hairier than honeybees and wasps. Bumblebees and honeybees are widely used as pollinators of agricultural and garden crops. Different bumblebee subspecies vary in external features, including colors and patterns. A bumblebee sting usually causes a local non-allergic reaction, but in some cases, allergic manifestations may occur that require diagnosis.
Bumblebees can react aggressively to the smell of alcohol, sweat, perfume, scented soap, and other products. Jewelry can also provoke aggressive behavior in bumblebees. It is important to note that bumblebee stings usually cause local non-allergic reactions – swelling, redness, itching, which can last from several hours to several days. In case of an allergic reaction, medical consultation is required. Immunotherapy with bumblebee venom is effective for patients with sensitization, especially in professional groups frequently exposed to bumblebees. Prevention includes avoiding contact with the allergen and wearing protective clothing.
