Bee sting allergy

Well, we found out the hard way that our girl is allergic to bee stings. She got stung at daycare today and she instantly started coughing plus complaining that her throat was bothering her. They gave her Benadryl (with my approval) and were going to call an ambulance. Luckily I live half a mile down the road, so I picked her up and brought her to the doctor. After over two hours of monitoring, the doctor felt confident she was okay to go home but prescribed an epipen. She said that while her reaction was not severe, it could get worse as she gets older and potentially has subsequent stings. We have to follow up with an allergist as well. Anyone have any experience with bee sting allergies? Bees are my daughter’s favorite bugs so I think she felt very betrayed today. 😭
