A bee sting; the wound or pain caused when a bee injects venom through its stinger.
Compound of 'bee' (from Old English beo) and 'sting' (from Old English stingan, meaning to pierce). This is a straightforward descriptive compound for the characteristic action bees perform.
While beeswings and beestings (colostrum) are obscure agricultural terms, 'beesting' reminds us of the dual nature of bees—as producers of valuable honey and as defensive insects capable of painful attacks.
