N2 - Many arthropod-borne human infections have been recognised in recent years, but this is the first reported case of honeybee-associated Arsenophonus nasoniae bacteraemia. We present the case of a 37-year-old male who attended the hospital emergency department with sudden onset of fever, rigors, and myalgia 5 hours after sustaining a bee sting to his left thumb that occurred in the evening during April 2018 behind his home garage in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.
