If you're allergic then one sting can kill you. If you're not allergic then 200 hundred stings can kill you. There can be a quarter million bees in a large colony.
Hundreds, even thousands of stings is a pretty common thing to happen to -for example- tree trimmers who find themselves disturbing a colony in the same tree.
Even if you're not allergic, a few stings in the wrong place can still kill you, e.g. if your entire neck swells up that it constricts your airways. If you get more than a couple stings to the face or neck I'd recommend you make a dash to the ER and chill out there for a while just in case.
