Your request stays private, and you choose where the specimen is collected. Availability, hours, preparation, and pricing differ by collection site, so confirm those details with the lab before you go.
What it measures
- Bumblebee venom-specific IgE — Antibodies that suggest an allergic response to bumblebee venom.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels; not specific to bumblebees.
- Related venom IgE (honeybee, wasp, yellow jacket, hornet) — Helps show whether reactions are specific to bumblebees or overlap with other stinging insects.
Preparation
No fasting is needed. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, especially antihistamines, as they may affect some allergy tests.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number or class for each allergen, along with a reference range from the laboratory. A clinician interprets these values together with your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not always mean you are allergic. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does this test hurt?
It uses a standard blood draw, so you may feel a brief pinch when the needle goes in.
How soon after a sting can I be tested?
Testing is often done weeks after a reaction, but your clinician will advise on the best timing for you.
Can I take allergy medicine before the test?
Ask your clinician; some medications may need to be paused, while others do not.
Will this tell me if I need an epinephrine auto-injector?
No. That decision is based on your history and is made by your clinician, not by a single lab result.
