Can bees harm ducks?

[Maryam.]

I have two female ducks a rouen and a pekin. Today while i was cleaning their coop i found a dead bee(probably a honeybee) and my rouen (daisy) acting weird. I felt there might be sometheing wrong with her so I brought her inside the house, she was sleepy since she came inside; she was always so curious and excited when she came inside. She’s trembling a bit and her eyes are barely open, i tried to encourage her to walk but she just sits. (and It’s just 2PM) She wakes to eat and drink water then sleep rightaway! I checked her legs and found no sign of bee sting , i tried to check under her feathers but there are too much feather.. is there any possibility that These are the symptoms of bee sting? If yes, how can i help her? I already added ACV to her water..

Hi. Do you see any place on her that is swollen and looks like a sting mark? I just learned in a post yesterday that ducks can have Benadryl. This was posted by another member @casportpony so if you think it is a sting and want to try it, here's the dose info.

It (Benadryl) can be used, but needs to be given orally because it bitter and they won't drink water medicated with it. The dose is 2-4 mg/kg, which is 0.9 to 1.8 mg per pound.

The children's liquid is 2.5 mg/ml , so the dose is 0.36 ml to 0.73 ml per pound.

My Runner did that with a wasp this weekend - then shook her head violently and the wasp went flying out LOL - WASP 1: GABBY 0

I'm a beekeeper and one of the first things I learned from my mentor was that anything could have a reaction to bee stings and to always have liquid benadryl on hand, so that is good advice.

Seems like it wouldn't hurt to give her some benadryl and see if that helps.

Lol haven't seen her eat wasps yet but every bee that is in her sight, eaten.

Yes..They can have a reaction to bee stings but will recover.
My Call Hen was stung and was quieter for about 24 hours and then was normal the next day.

Sounds like some Benadryl and a nice bath or a little spa day will fix your duck right up!
