Right after you get bitten by a bee it starts with a burning sensation which spreads around the spot as because the poison pored into you spreads around with the blood flowing into your muscles as long as it is active, followed by itching sensation which means your body has over powered the detrimental action of the poison!.Aas long as the poison is active the spot looks reddish and then beme brownish!.keep your eyes open the check whetfer you get small blisters!.If yes then apply anticeptive cream!.Otherwise just wait patiently,nothig is in your hand!.

The first step in treatment following a bee sting is removal of the sting itself!. The sting should be removed as fast as possible without regard to method: studies have shown the amount of venom delivered does not differ if the sting is pinched or scraped off and even a delay of a few seconds leads to more venom being injected!.[3] Once the sting is removed, pain and swelling should be reduced with a cold compress!.[4]
Many traditional remedies have been suggested for bee stings including damp pastes of tobacco, salt, baking soda, meat tenderizer, toothpaste, clay, garlic, urine, onions, aspirin or even application of copper coins!.[5][6]
Bee venom is acidic and these interventions are often recommended to neutralize the venom; however, neutralizing a sting is unlikely to be effective as the venom is injected under the skin and deep into the tissues, where a topically applied alkali is unable to reach, so neutralization is unlikely to occur!.[5] In any case, the amount of venom injected is typically very small (between 5 and 50 micrograms of fluid) and placing large amounts of alkali near the sting site is unlikely to produce a perfectly neutral pH to stop the pain!.[5] Many people do claim benefit from these home remedies but it is doubtful they have any real physical effect on how much a sting hurts or continues hurting, the effect is probably related to rubbing the area or the mind perceiving benefit!.[5] Furthermore, none of these interventions have been proven to be effective in scientific studies and a randomized trial of aspirin paste and topical ice packs showed that aspirin was not effective in reducing the duration of swelling or pain in bee and wasp stings, and significantly increased the duration of redness!.[4] The study concluded that ice alone is better treatment for bee and wasp stings than aspirin!.[4]
The sting may be painful for a few hours!. Swelling and itching may persist for a week!. The area should not be scratched as it will only increase the itching and swelling!. If a reaction persists for over a week or covers an area greater than 3 or 4 inches, medical attention should be sought!. Doctors often recommend a tetanus immunization!. For about 2 percent of people, anaphylactic shock from certain proteins in the venom can be life-threatening and requires emergency treatment by a physician!.[7] If the victim is allergic to bee stings, the victim must be treated to prevent shock!. People known to be highly allergic may carry around epinephrine in the form of a self-injectable Epipen for the treatment of an anaphylactic shock!.
For patients who experience severe or life threatening reactions to insect stings, researchers at Johns Hopkins have developed a series of allergy injections composed of increasing concentrations of naturally occurring venom which provide excellent and usually life-long protections against future insect stings!.

You are getting mixed answers on here!. Bees do bite--certain types of them do anyway!. Yellow jackets bite and those are very common bees!. If you were stung there may or may not be a stinger in you still!. If you were bit use a little baking soda and water mixture or meat tenderizer and water to dab on it!. If you were stung you should probably go in to your doctor to have the stinger removed!. The stingers have barbs on them making them less likely to be removed in one piece!. You do not want to rupture the stinger which is filled with venom!. Keep an eye out for lots of swelling, excessive redness, fever, or difficulty breathing as this is a sign of shock and allergy to the sting!. Do not hesitate to go to the emergency room for these symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
At first i felt a small sting!. day 1 it didn't bother me much but i knew it was there!. day 2 it got itchy and more red!. day 3 it swelled up huge!.
Because it didn't swell immediately, i knew it wasn't an allergic reaction!.
Instead, it was an infection!. My body was trying to absolve the stinger left in my thigh!.
I went to the doc's and was told to take some benadryl and if it didn't clear up by day 4 then start the antibiotics!.
I never took anything and the swelling receded on day 4!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
