How do yoy treat a bee sting?

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 thinngs like meat tendorizer, 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 coupel of days

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

Baking Soda or some sort of weak alkaline solution will help a bee sting.

Answer 5

put one big spoon in your freezer until it gets really cold.compress with that cold spoon where bee sting is.keep repeating 3-4 times at-least 10 Min's or so.you should be ok.it's not really a big problem.

Answer 6

If you can see the stinger, try and get it out (don't use tweezers, use a stiff piece of paper or credit card).  Put some calamine lotion or antibiotic cream and cover it with a bandaid.  At night leave it open to the air.  You might also want to take some Benadryl just in case there is an allergic reaction and it help stop the itching.

Hope I helped!
