Whenever a bee or a wasp stings you, be sure to immediately remove the stinger, that usually appears as a black dot in the center of the wound. After removing the stinger, the area should be cleaned with soap and water. Alcohol can also be used for the purpose. Applying ice or cool water on the inflamed area can help to inhibit or reduce the intensity of allergic reaction. You can also apply calamine lotion or a paste of baking soda and water on the affected area, to relieve the itching and the pain.

I know this sounds kind of gross but with a bee sting get someone that you know and trust that chews tobacco and let them put a small amount of their tobacco juice on the sting. the tobacco juice stops the pain, redness and itching, try it, it REALLY works :)
