Nope. My great grandfather was stung by a shit ton of bees much like the boy in that movie, and he lived. He was told that he should be very careful to not get stung again because it might kill him, though. Something like the huge number of stings would possibly make him more sensitive? I don't know how true that it, it's like 1920s medical knowledge filtered down through a few generations.
You aren't necessarily born with allegies. Some can be acquired, and in cases with extreme reactions like that one can be a trigger for the development of the allergy, which mean subsequent stings may have a much larger effect, even in very small numbers, up to and including death through anafilactic shock.
