For bee stings, mix a little meat tenderizer with a few drops of water to make a thin paste. After removing the stinger (scraping the area with a credit card will usually get rid of it) gently rub the paste into the wound. Repeat as necessary until the pain subsides. The meat tenderizer breaks down the protein in the venom.
