Answer 2

Ya, Hives are a very good indication of allergies... But there is a difference between a bruise/bump and a hive... I highly recommend seeing a doctor, especially if she might actually be allergic to bees...

Answer 3

Hives are ALWAYS a sign to some type of allergic reaction.  Your sister should be seen asap, especially if the hive occurred right after the sting incident (ouch!).  When in doubt, check it out!  There are also a lot of other factors to consider...has she ever been stung before, did she apply or take anything after the stings, what did she do to treat them, where are the hives at, how many are there, are they really hives...the list goes on and on. So, this can be a serious allergy/reaction but needs to be further evaluated by a medical professional in person.  

Answer 4

YOU THINK!!!!  SHE COULD HAVE  AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE OR GONORRHEA

Answer 5

YES they are a major sign of allergies, you have to be careful with them cause they can from in the throat and cut off air...take her to the Doc !
