What's the easiest way to deal with a bee sting?

Bees are a kind of social insects, the bee colony is composed of the queen bee, drone and worker bees, the worker bee tail has a poison needle connected to the poison gland, so the honey will sting people are mainly worker bees, when the bee colony is disturbed or attacked by the outside world worker bees will carry out defensive sting, let's take a look at how to deal with the easiest bee sting!

 Away from the hive

  The first thing to do after a bee sting is to stay away from the hive to avoid being stung again. In fact, bees only sting because the hive is threatened, so as long as you keep a certain distance from the hive, the swarm will give up the attack. Moreover, bees are not as aggressive as hornets, and they will not chase the "invaders" over the mountains like hornets do. Some captive bees are less likely to attack even when they are standing at the door of the nest, but there are differences in aggression between species, so it's best to stay away from the hive after a bee sting.

 Remove the needle

  Bee poison needle consists of a back sting needle and two abdominal sting needles, the end is connected with the poison gland and internal organs, the tip of the poison needle has a small barb, when stinging people, the barb will hook people's skin and can not be pulled out, a hard will be part of the internal organs together with the poison needle left on the skin, so after being stung by bees to carefully check the stung place, if the poison needle remains on the skin to take out in time, But sometimes the poison needle may not be found, for two reasons, one is the bee successfully pulled out the poison needle, and the second is the poison needle may naturally fall off.

  Wash the wound

  Bees are very toxic and slightly acidic, so you can wash the wound with an alkaline solution like soda water to neutralize the toxicity, or if you don't have an alkaline solution you can rinse it with pure water. In fact, many beekeepers are pretty much done dealing with bee stings, because bee stings are so common to them. Apart from the mild pain of the sting, there are no other adverse effects, and some beekeepers don't even bother to clean the step, and simply pull out the poison needle after being stung.

  Apply medicine

  The reaction after the bee sting varies from person to person, the first bee sting in addition to the initial pain will also appear redness and swelling phenomenon, this symptom will generally heal 1-2 days, if the bee sting after a few times generally will not appear redness and swelling, such as beekeepers have basically been immune to honey, but if the sting is the face and other unattractive places, it is best to apply some drugs to help reduce swelling. You can also apply toothpaste to the stung area.

  Observation

  Bee sting usually does not cause any major problems, unless there is an allergic reaction to bee venom, bee venom allergy is extremely dangerous, mild cases may appear chest tightness, palpitations, dizziness, eyelid edema, fatigue, etc., severe cases may appear anaphylactic shock or even life-threatening, so after being stung by bees, you should be closely observed, such as bee venom allergy should be sent to the hospital in time for treatment. In fact, if the hibernated person has been stung by bees before, it is basically not allergic to bee venom, but it is better to pay attention to the first bee sting.
  Summary: Being stung by bees is not a big problem, and generally will not bring any serious consequences, but pay attention to the situation of bee venom allergy, if allergic must be sent to the hospital in time, and here is talking about bees.
