Bee stings can be highly agonizing and in a few instances, even fatal. Bees inject poison from a stinger under the skin of the individual they sting. Unlike wasps that have stingers that withdraw after stinging, bees have barbed stingers that remain in the skin. The barb has a venom sack attached that can go on to inject poison for up to 3 minutes if it is not removed. Roughly 3% of the persons stung by bees contact an allergic reaction and just nearby 0.8% have an allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
Individuals who are not allergic to bee stings will contact swelling and itching at and near the area they were stung. The skin will become red and very painful. These reactions may last for up to seven days. If there is an allergic reaction, hives, flush and swelling can form all over the body. Victims can also contact swelling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and imbalance.
Bee Stings Remedies
Individuals suffering from an anaphylactic reaction may contact strangeness breathing, and a drop in blood pressure that will lead to shock if not treated immediately. 50 persons die each year from such reactions to bee stings. Anaphylactic reactions will occur within a few minutes of the actual sting. If man who is allergic is stung more than once, their reaction will worsen each time.

What to do if you are stung by a bee:
1. Get away from the area where you were stung as bee stings liberate pheromones that cause other bees that are close by to attack.
2. Call an accident healing aid if you know you are allergic to bee stings or if you contact any of the signs described in persons having an allergic reaction. Watch all victims closely for signs of anaphylaxis.
3. Check either the stinger is still in your skin and remove it - it will look like a small black dot. It is recommended that you use a flat object such as a prestige card to scrape away the stinger as pinching may cause more poison to enter the victim. The faster the bee stinger is removed, the less severe the reaction may be.
4. Put ice on the sting to cut swelling.
5. Clean the area and apply hydrocortisone cream to lessen the severity of the reaction. It is recommended that a blend of baking soda and water can also be used. either of these will break down the venom**
6. Take an antihistamine, use calamine lotion and painkillers to stop itching and swelling
**Bee venom is acidic, the blend of baking soda and water is meant to neutralize the venom. Neutralization is unlikely because the venom is under the skin and in the tissues of the body and cannot be affected by an alkaline explication is placed on the covering of the skin.
Bee Sting treatmentBee Swarm Capture into Hive Video Clips. Duration : 14.78 Mins.This is the second swarm that I captured in a week, both from my own hives! Now walking them into a National hive for them to make their new home. Good idea I discovered whilst doing this is not to have a tree beside the hive as it looked for a while that they were going to walk up the tree rather than the board into the hive! It would have meant more tree climbing for me!
