For many years it was believed that bee sting was formic acid. However, more recent research has shown that bee venom is much more complicated with several active bio chemical components including histamine, melittin (a protein), a hyaluronidase, and phospholipase A.
You put milk on a bee sting because a bee sting is full of acid and by putting an alkali solution on the sting it neutralises the sting (balances it out) so the sting doesnt hurt.
if it is a bee sting it is an acid sting so then put vinegar an alkilie will level out the ph [the level of intensity in acid s and alkilies] and if it is a wasp sting put lemon juice or some mild form of acid on it and it will level it out
The Acid in the Bee Stings venom is called Methanoic Acid. Hope this helps x
formic acid
The main acid in bee venom is formic acid, although there are traces of others.
A bee sting injects formic acid, which is considered a weak acid. It can cause pain and irritation at the site of the sting.
its an acid
The acid in a bee sting is formic acid, also known as methanoic acid. However, it is not really the acid that causes the pain. The most active ingredients in bee venom is melittin and apamin, both of which cause pain and swelling.

Bee venom is acidic in nature. It mainly contains melittin, which is an acidic peptide.
The bee sting venom is a complex mixture of proteins etc. and is not acid.
A bee's sting is mostly Formic Acid.
