my dad once told me it wont hurt if a wasp stings me after a bee and i asked why....

it is because there is a certain chemical in a bee sting that helps the acid in the sting painless. it can also be the other way round, they both cancel each other out! not a good idea to try this though as it is near imposable for the bee or wasp to sting you in the same place but some scientist have extracted this chemical but it can not be soled as it has too many health issues. hope this helped
