I love the summer months but I hate the bugs and as good as bees are I just don’t like to be around them and I do not like to have them sting me. Here are some natural remedies for those horrible bee stings. Don’t forget to wash it with soap and water - you don’t want bacteria to get in there and make sure that the stinger is out - honeybees will lose their stingers after stinging you but wasp, hornets and yellow jackets will not that is why you have to be careful around them because the same bee can sting you several times.

*Good old mud - glob it on

*Make a paste of my personal favorite - apple cider vinegar and baking soda paste

*Put a raw potato on it

*Try putting egg yolk on it - it will also make the stinger work out of your skin

*Mash up an aspirin and make a paste with it with some water

*Put plain vinegar or apple cider vinegar on it

*Put a fresh onion on the sting

*Chew up some plantain leaves and put it on this sting - this works really well!!

*Try spraying windex on it after you take the stinger out - it will reduce the swelling. Just make sure that is contains ammonia and not a concentrated product. The Ammonia is what does the trick!

If any allergic reaction occurs or swelling contact your physician and seek medical attention immediately!
