Wow, I have no idea. Here is a bump, to get you more noticed. Call the vet, see what they suggest!

Many wild insects are toxic to dragons bc of toxins that they come into contact with while others are simply toxic themselves i.e Fire Flies. Bees are touch and go, some Dragons have been ok after eating them while others have become ill. No one is sure if this is species related or toxin contaminates.
How is your beardie doing now?? It's been more than a few hours now and I would say that it's safe to assume that if there hasn't been any signs of uncomfort or pain by now then he should be fine.
You might want to try feeding a few drops of olive oil, which will work as a laxative to your beardie, just to help him pass the bee sooner.

Oh my gosh. I really hope you RAN to the vet asap. Other than that though, theres a site that has online vets if you REALLY can't get to one. http://www.petpeoplesplace.com/resources/advice/index.htm
It might take a while, so hope you that asap.

I don't think running to the vet is the best thing all the time. Keep in mind that the vet is NOT a free service and that there are some signs to look for before freaking out and running to the vet. If the BD is acting normal with normal coloring and not displaying any signs of distress then chances are that he is ok. However, if you notice that he is dark, black bearding, or acting out of the normal, then you should go to the vet.
het guy's, thanks for the replys and advice.
he's doing fine at the moment ther seems to be no discomfort of any kind
he's had 2 poops since he ate the bee so im geussing it should be out of his system by now right?

^ LOL. that's really funny. Hopefully nothing bad comes of it.
My baby almost did this with a HUGE yellow worm. I don't even know where that worm came from or what it was. It was all yellow and hairy, I was just sitting reading up book on the porch while he was on my lap. We were just chillin then...WHOOSH! Down my leg in a flash. Thank god he took a few seconds to consider the worm. I had a chance to grab him before he took a chunk out of it. A yellow hairy worm...nothing native to my state... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: I still shudder when thinking about it.
