LOL It's hard to not laugh a little at all those poor swollen faces. I have a Boston that loves to chase/snap at bees and other flying things. I keep telling him one of them is going to sting him someday. You're right about it being dangerous...especially for the brachycephalic dogs. I have four of them and I'm constantly watching them outside.
I've heard of a dog dying after being stung in the mouth (tongue I think) by one or more wasps, it caused a fatal seizure. I would be concerned about any dog snapping at bees; and discuss it with the vet, possibly keep Benedryl on hand (and know, from discussion with the vet, what dosage to give the dog if it "eats"/is stung in the mouth by bees).
Many years ago, I had a dog who was stung by five or six yellowjackets, not in the mouth, thankfully. I was terrified, but he was breathing normally. I think my vet recommended a particular dosage of Benedryl and careful watching. My dog was fine. I don't know if the formulation of Benedryl has changed since the 1990's, so I would not recommend it without discussing its usage with a vet.
