I'm afraid no vaccination exists for the condition. A modality of treatment called 'desensitisation' exists for some of the chronic allergies, but not for honey bee sting (which medically leads to an acute Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction).
Kindly consult your local allergologist/immunologist for a local practice. Until then, try steer clearing of bee-hives.
