I could be wrong but if you get stung by a bee is it best to have someone urinate onto the sting from their greasy noodle..
Liemallow, any input?

No,
the best thing is an ice pack.

Aren't you supposed to use a card
to scrape the sting off so you don't squeeze more venom in?

It's already in
by then. Might be worth checking with an apiarist if you know one.

Vinegar is the best thing for bee and wasp stings.

No expert but is a wasp sting alkaline and therefore an acid does work on a wasp sting but a bee sting
has a different structure and therefore acids do not work.

I'm no expert either.
It definitely works for wasp stings, I pick up plenty of the fuckers while working over the summer.

It's been over twenty years since I was last stung by a bee though. Bee stings are apparently acidic though according to a google search, so getting a wasp to sting you in the exact same place would be the best remedy.
