For bee stings I have always found that teaspoon of baking soda and vinegar immediately kills the sting. I put a bit of baking soda in my hand, pour some vinegar in it and as it bubbles, slap it on the sting - I was always the one the kids who had bee stings came running to - I carried a prescription bottle with baking soda and an old vanilla bottle with vinegar in my first aid kit.

That is good to know, we have a Wallapai Tiger [Cone nose Beetle] here that I am very allergic to and swell up and burn and itch, so vinegar and soda will be my next remedy.

Another thing that takes the sting right out of a bee sting is tobacco and saliva. Okay, gross, but if it's what you have, it works. Put a pinch of tobacco in your palm, spit on it, mix it around and slap it on the sting. It works!
