uhm, so, they let you go sayin you would be fine. and youre fine. but you were on your deathbed.
but youre alive!
uhm, i think the doctors were right... 
most hospitals wont tell you to go home just cause you dont have insurance. rather they will put you in debt for the rest of your life, they will get their money either way...

but yea, these things can be pretty shocking and make us think about death and realise that we arent as immortal as we thought we were.  but they also teach us to value life to its fullest. 
and yea, my near death experience would be a motorcycle accident last september. i cant really remember much of it, or the month afterwards...

That doesn't really sound like a bee allergy...at least not a serious one.
a couple hours later, I was in the emergency room
If you were really allergic to bees, you wouldn't have been alive for "a couple hours" without IMMEDIATE medical attention. In fact you wouldn't have been alive for more than a couple minutes.
Anaphylaxis hits immediately upon exposure to an allergen (trust me, I've been through it myself). It hits hard and fast - not hours later - and once it is over it is over, you don't get sick later on or anything like that.
Also it wouldn't have been just your arm that would swell up - it's your throat swelling up that causes the real problems. If you were really allergic to bees you would have been unconscious within minutes due to low blood pressure and constricted airways, and then dead shortly after. Anaphylaxis is a severe medical emergency, no doctor would have simply sent you home if you were experiencing anaphylaxis. It's not like the treatment for it is uber-expensive or anything, usually a single injection of adrenaline will halt and reverse the anaphylaxis. It's also not something that is hard to diagnose - if you did have anaphylaxis, the doctors would have known it within a few moments of you coming in the door.
It sounds to me like you are just a little over-sensitive to bee venom. It is possible for you to develop a severe allergy to bees, however, so you should DEFINITELY try to avoid being stung again. The only way to really be certain about it is to go see an Allergist and have them test you for a bee allergy.
Oh, one other thing: was this the FIRST time you have ever been stung by a bee? If not, what happened the other times?
