Not a good idea. Presumably putting bleach on a bee sting is an attempt to neutralize the venom. It wouldn't work. Remember, the venom has been injected into the tissues under the skin and any chemical on the surface of the skin which could reach the venom would do more harm than good.

As bee stings are acidic you need to put a akaline on it to neutrilise it. Out of day to day items you can put washing powder or toothpaste other the sting. This may sound weird but it does reduce the swelling, ichyness and pain.
