I just called the vet again just to ask just how toxic Almonds are and they said it depends on how much he ate and how big he is. If only ingested a very small amount he should be just fine. But what could happen in some cases is dogs can have an allergic reaction to them just like people. So I'm thinking it was the bee that made him sick. I also did a search and here is what I found,,,,,

Nuts in general are not good for dogs as their high phosphorus content may lead to bladder stones.

The one nut that can be very toxic is the Macadamia nut. The toxic compound is unknown but eating as few as six nuts without the shell has been known to cause elevated body temperature, accelerated heartbeat, tremors in the skeletal muscles, and weakness or paralysis of the hindquarters. Affected dogs have difficulty or are unable to rise, are distressed and usually panting.Some affected dogs have had swollen limbs and showed pain when the limb was manipulated. Dogs did recover from the muscle weakness and pain and it is not known if there have been any fatal cases. Macadamia butter is included in this warning.

He's resting and seems to be ok. These little guys can sure worry you sick!
