If he is sensitive to bees, then this can be very serious and he could go into anaphylactic shock (and possibly die, without treatment with an Epi-Pen.)  Even in a "non-sensitive" person, this many bee stings will cause swelling, redness, itching, etc.  My first choice would be to use homeopathic Apis as often as necessary, then palliate some of the symptoms with herbal poultices and herbal baths to reduce itching.  Vitamin C, nettles and quercetin can often be used to decrease the histamine reaction.
