The best way to get a bee stinger out without squeezing more venom into your skin is to use your fingernails. Gently scrape along your skin in the direction of the poison sac (the rounded bit at the non-pointy end of the stinger). Try not to press down on the sac because that will just pump more venom in. If you tug gently, the stinger will pop back out of your skin. You can then wash the area. If it hurts a lot, you can take some Tylenol or Advil, and can also take some Benadryl for the swelling and itching.
If a bee stings you, the stinger will typically remain in your skin. You should remove it as quickly as possible to reduce the amount of venom entering your body. To do so, use a scraping motion with a credit card or your fingernail, rather than squeezing or pinching the stinger, which can release more venom. Wash the area with soap and water, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
