10 Home Remedies for Bee Stings

9. Mud

One of the most old-fashioned remedies for strings is found in nature: mud. Of course, applying mud to a bee sting goes against everything previously mentioned about cleaning the affected area and avoiding infections. If you're stung by a bee when out on a hike or away from first aid, mud can work in a pinch. If you have purified water on hand, use it to dampen a small amount of dirt and apply to the sting. The coolness will relieve the pain and swelling temporarily. As soon as sterilized options are available, clean the sting thoroughly.
