allergic reaction

Can a dog have an allergic reaction to bee stings?
I had a 1.5 year old dog on a chase saturday that got behind and seemed to have quit. I took tracker and walked in to him and found him coming down the hill towards the river. I leashed him up and started walking out and the farther we went the more i had to pull on the lead.
I thought he might be having a heat stroke so i pulled him out in the river into about 8 inches of water and splashed water on his belly and poured water down his back. As he is standing in the water and drinking he just gradually starts sinking. I at first just thought the water was feeling good and he was doing it himself. Until his head started going under.
I picked him up and layed him on a large flat rock, at this point he seemed almost paralyzed. I started looking him over and found a yellow jacket clamped under his tail with the stinger imbedded. I carried him to the truck and he died an hour later.
Has anyone heard or seen anything like this before?
I could not find any snake bites and there not real common where we were at.
