Well I have no experience in feeding bees because frankly I find it to be nuts. But looks like a sting to me or a bite. If your feeding bees, Large hornworms, large superworms then this is a risk you take on.

Mouth rot we typically see in the actual mouth not the tongue. It would be discolored and even swollen along the gums.

Yeah I would honestly, so good plan. It can still lead to an infection. If the swelling and discoloring does not go down then the vet is a very good idea.

What color should his tongue be? Because its different today than the pics above.And there is still that purple part. I will take him to the vet tommorow but just want to see your opinion.

@kinyonga can you take a look at the pics the OP posted in number 8 post? I have only ever seen Beman's tongue up close and it does not look like that.

I wish I could give you an answer. I think it looks a bit better in post #8 than the previous one...but it still wouldn't hurt to have a vet check it IMHO.

It’s normal to be that whitish color? I tough it should be pink..

 

[kinyonga]

It is a little whitish for sure.
For comparison...

Just a thought but if it was a sting, would there not be swelling ? I don't believe they are immune, but really don't know.
It is still something going on.

There’s a first time for everything I guess.. Im going to vet tomorrow so I will tell you guys what is it!

Ok so I went and she saw the swelling and purple-red part. She just gave him a medicine against pain, irritation and swelling and gave me three more syringes for next three days and thats it..
