Hello,
Yes you are right.
A bee sting On your right butt cheek can cause local lymph nodes swelling on your right groin area.This is a reactionary lymph node swelling and would subside once the swelling at the bee sting site disappears.
Sometimes infection can occur and in such case,you may need an antibiotic course,otherwise it shall go of its own.
Thanks
