Best Answer

A bee's sting is acidic, meaning any alkali will neutralise the pain. This doesn't mean rubbing just any alkali on your sting will make the pain stop, it means the acid levels are more balanced and less likely to hurt. There are lots of house-hold alkalis for example barcarbonate of soda (baking soda). Gently rubbing some of this on your skin will neutralise the acidity level. If the affected skin is red and sore to touch or the pain where you have been stung doesn't stop seek medical advice form your local chemist or doctor, immeadialty.

baking soda and water. Get a little baking soda and put a little water on it to make it pasty and then rub it on the bee sting. It worked GREAT when I got stung by a scorpian.
