  1. Mix some water and baking soda and rub it on your bee sting. It might take a while but don't wash it off. It will come of eventually, it takes away the pain for good.

    First if stinger is stuck in your body remove it then discreetly pee on it or place pee in cup and pour a little on it sounds weird but it works the best, also works on jelly fish stings.

    As soon as possible after the sting. Crush an aspirin and mix it into a thick paste with water. Most of the pain goes away in a 2-3 minutes and is almost unnoticeable in around 20 to 30 minutes.

    If seeking purely natural form you can get asprin out of the inner bark of willow tree twigs

    toothpaste:Glycerin dries out the venom, while other ingredients in the paste equalize the stingy itchy feelings.

    Most insect bites and stings only cause local reactions, including redness, swelling, pain and itching.

    After you thoroughly wash the area with soap and water, other symptomatic treatments that may help your child feel better include applying:

    an ice pack or cool compress

    a meat tenderizer solution, which can be made by mixing one part meat tenderizer and 4 parts of water. This is especially helpful for painful stings from bee, wasp or ant. For best effect, soak a cotton ball in the meat tenderizer solution and use it to rub the area of the bite for 15-20 minutes.

    a baking soda paste

    a topical steroid or other topical anti-itch cream, such as Calamine lotion, to the area

    Other medications, including an oral antihistamine for itching, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and/or pain medications, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may also help. More extensive local reactions may sometimes require a short course of an oral steroid.

    Antibiotics may be needed if the bite becomes infected.


  2. Look it up on the net.

  3. 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

  5. Just recommended this to another person. Boil Ease. Buy it in any drug store. It works miracles on bee stings.

  6. I was always told to ease the swelling and soreness to put mud on it

  7. some people believe that if you urine on it then it will help.. idk!

    time.. time will help it to heal... let it get air, so dont cover it up too much, put some maybe neosporin on it!
