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.
