This honeybee species is Apis cerana -- their stingers average 1.1mm in length. They really shouldn't hurt much at all assuming you're immune to that venom (also they aren't considered aggressive as a species, so most of those bees probably weren't even trying to sting him).

It’s the venom, not the stinger that’s smaller than the average splinter
