It could even still be achy in the morning. if you get any sort of reaction go to your GP or nearest chemist straight away. If it's the first time you have been stung keep an eye on it, some people have bad reactions.

As tonyted says, a wasp will sting and withdraw its sting and move on. A bee's sting stays in the flesh and actually tears out the sting, poison sac and part of the bee's abdomen, which is fatal for the bee.
I got stung by a wasp a couple of weeks ago, on a finger, and it 'pinged' for about four hours!
Don't worry about feeling like a baby - it flamin' hurts!
