Core Tip	Stings from honeybees are extremely rare inside the oral cavity. These insects sting in the head and neck area less than 25% of the time compared to other body parts. Furthermore, if a stinger is not removed promptly, it may cause chronic discomfort, inflammation, and secondary infections. We present a 52-year-old female patient who had a local irritation after being stung in the mouth by a honeybee. Shortly after removing the stinger, the patient’s symptoms disappeared without any issues.
