Bees are a major food source in the wild. If he hasn't been stung in the throat and the throat swelled up, I would think he is fine.

OK thank you so much. He didn't react so I don't think he was stung. Thank you for stopping my panic attack. I was terrified. I did not know they ate bees lol

Well, the bees in Africa are a lot different than English honey bees, that's for sure. The docile honey bee has a wicked sting whereas the African bee has a very mild sting. Even so, they do tend to shoot for the head and then bite the insect, so likely the wasp was dead and not really capable of stinging before the stinger got close to the chameleon's face. My chickens snap up scorpions with seeming impunity.
