i believe its baking soda on bee stings and vinegar on wasp stings (something to do with balancing out the acidity)
you make a paste of it and leave it on for about half an hour. hope this helps (i got stung on sole of me foot when i was a nipper cor blimey that was a shock!)

they are able to fly and should be, they cant glide is the thing, hence the noise cause they are always flapping thier wings**Equador said:Actually, it's the bumblebee that isn't supposed to. Something about being too big and hairy.

Yes, that myth is about bumble bees. But its just that: a myth. It originates from the fact that some aircraft engineers analyzed bumble bees and came to the conclusion that their wings havn't got enough surface in relation to the bumble bees body mass to provide the necessary lift. However they did not account in their calculations that bumble bees move their wings at extreme speed. They are more like helicopters than birds or planes. A helicopters 'wings' (the rotor blades) wouldn't provide enough lift either if they weren't moving.Ctuchik said:isnt that bumble bees? those should not be able to fly but they do it anyway![]()
replace bee with wasp,eggy said:Bee-revenge in several easy steps:
1. Obtain a vessel; a jam jar or some other air-tight capsule-device will do.
2. Locate a bee, preferably one that is stationary or having a kip.
3. Place said vessel over said bee.
4. Chuckle as it fights to get out of it's new 1/2cm-thick glass prison.
5. Seal the jar (perhaps with a lid!) and place in freezer.
6. Entertain yourself for 15-20 minutes in any manner you see fit...
7. Retrieve vessel+bee from afforementioned freezer.
8. Ensure bee is lying unconscious. Movement is bad, but death is worse. If bee is dead, go to step 2.
9. Find the nearest female or alternative male with an eye for sewing.
10. Locate a length of cotton; a couple of feet will do.
11. Instruct said person to carefully tie cotton around foot of bee.
12. Attach non-bee end of cotton, via bluetac or further tying, to stationary object outside - e.g. a table.
13. Set up a video camera.
14. Watch in glee as bee comes-to and attempts to fly away to safety.
15. Clap hands as bee flies round and round and round in circles, in somewhat of a pendulum motion.

That is not funny. Whoever follows these instuctions deserves to get thrown out of the window with a rope tied around his private bits!eggy said:Bee-revenge in several easy steps:
