The acid present in honey bee stings is A. Formic acid.

Explanation:
Formic acid (HCOOH) is a simple carboxylic acid and is known for its presence in various insect stings, including those of honey bees and ants. It is responsible for the painful sensation and irritation caused by bee stings.

Propanoic acid (C₂H₅COOH) and Butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH) are also carboxylic acids, but they are not involved in the venom of honey bees.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. Formic acid.
