Answer 1

I have been keeping honey bees for several years now and i feel pretty confident about answering this one. Some form of benidryl or antihistamine will help with the itching and possibly the swelling if taken soon after the sting. You will receive lots of input about things like meat tenderizer, tobacco,baking soda an other topical treatments. they are all just wives tales. I have tried and none seam to work. the venom of a wasp is different than that of a honey bee. a honey bees venom is an irritant used to defend the hive while a wasps venom is used to kill its prey. My best advice is to not rub or scratch and let it run its course. it is normal for it to be sore for a couple of days

I have had stings itch and be sore for as little as a few minuets or as long as a weak

Answer 2

You should go see a doctor.

Answer 3

don't wait -- see a doctor now -- the stinger may be deeper than you think and need removing -- any time a wound is warm to the touch indicates an infection and needs antibiotics
