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.
