Hi my daughter 2.5, bitten by two bees on her left palm near fingers. I removed it's sting immediately. She didn't cry just a little ouch. Now I'm noticing a little swelling. Is it a common thing or should I take her to doc in case?

Pulling out the stinger may have injected some of the toxin. However, since the swelling is just in the hand and not a whole body reaction, she should be OK. The hand swelling would be very common.
Thanks actually 2 bees bit her a there was 1 sting. N mild swelling near bitten area. Thanks again
Bees don't bite. The stinger is in the tail.
Bees sting, they don't bite. If you removed the stinger and there's some swelling, that's normal. Try soaking it in epsom salts, that may help a bit.
Swelling at the site of a sting is normal. It's when she can't breath, or swells all over her body, or develops a fever, that's when you should be concerned.
From what you described, she should be fine, but if you're concerned a trip to the doctor is never a bad idea. :)
