Scrape it out with a thumbnail, the edge of something like a credit card or the back of a knife.

Do not grip the sting between finger and thumb or use tweezers because you will sqeeze the venom sac and force more venom into the wound.

However you remove the sting, do it quickly because the sting mechanism can continue to inject venom for up to two minutes after the bee has gone.
