One of the main components of bee venom, mellitin, is actually a highly basic peptide which is cytotoxic or kills cells. Bee venom also contains several identified enzymes that further act to destroy tissue and, not surprisingly, are found in inflammatory cells that are drawn into the reaction to the sting. Acting specifically on local pain receptors, this soup of reactive peptides can make the victim feel that massive damage has been done. The most dangerous aspect of a sting, however, lies in its induction of an allergic reaction; hypersensitive individuals can be at high risk of death from their own reaction to the toxins that are allergens.

Formic Acid is another large component of bee venom.

I'm Not Entirely Sure Of Any Chemicals You Can Use, But If You Make A Paste By Mixing Baking Soda And Water Together And Put It On The Sting And Let It Dry It'll Help. And If You Light A Cigarette And Dip It In Water And Then Dab It On The Sting That Will Help, Too. I Hope This Gives You A Good Answer!!(:
