I am so sorry you were stung, but glad to hear there are still honeybees around. After the past few years with all the problems with hive die offs it's good to know they are still around in some numbers.
My worst experience has been with red wasp. I've been stung by them more then once and it was the worst!! Swelling and pain for hours! I do my best to avoid them! We have a very small wasp here called a Guinea wasp that for it's size has a very painful sting. They like to nest in the palms here so you have to be watchful when working around palms. They are territorial and will get after you if they feel threatened!!
Glad your experience wasn't any worse then it was.... :D :D
