!!!!!! or you can try cutting a green lime in half and rubbing it over the place where the bee bit you i heard that works [ caramella's advice column | Ask caramella A Question ]

If it's under the first layer you can disinfect the area with hydrogen peroxide and using a clean pin or sharp pair of tweezers you can gently cut through the top layer and get it out. If you don't want to do that, or if it's deeper, you can just wait it out and your body will push the thorns to the surface of the skin.
Be careful that it doesn't get infected, though... If it starts to get red, swollen, form puss, or really start to hurt, go see a doctor. Infections are NOT fun to deal with.
