Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The bee can sting the mouth or the throat. It will not sting once it has been swallowed. If Bertie just ate a bee you should monitor him for signs of facial swelling and breathing problems. If you notice that his respiration becomes fast, loud and raspy, you should take him to your local vets as an emergency.
