Is a Bee sting acidic or alkali?

Honeybee stings are acidic! The pH of the venom ranges from between pH 4.5-5.5 (depending on the species of bee). It's actually the proteins and enzymes in the venom that causes the irritation in your skin, not the pH!

A bee sting is typically acidic in nature. However, it's not as acidic as we think. Bee venom has a pH of 4.5-5.5 (7 is neutral), which makes it slightly acidic.

Its acidic, we need to put bicarbonate of soda on bee sting

Hi Prof. Darryl Goyette, the answer is it's acidic

The bee sting is Acidic while the wasp sting is alkalin

Acidic, The pH level is around 5

A Bee sting falls fairly low on the pH scale (at around 4.5-5.5) therefore, they are acidic.

A bee sting is acidic and is between 4.5 and 5.5 on the pH scale. As bee stings are acidic, if stung, it is key to counteract the acidity of a bee sting with something alkaline based such as bicarbonate of soda. Interestingly, wasp stings are alkaline so vinegar is used to counterbalance a sting.

Bee stings are acidic

A bee sting is acidic.

A bee sting is acidic, it contains formic acid (methanoic acid), as part of its complex chemical composition.

So you would want to use something alkali to neutralise it.

A bee sting is acidic. It has a pH of 4.5-5.5.

Bee stings are technically slightly acidic, however have a pH of around 5.0 to 5.5 making them interestingly only as acidic as coffee, wasps stings on the other hand are more on the Alkaline end of the pH scale.

Formic acid is present in a bee sting so a bee sting is weakly acidic. This can be counteracted by bicarbonate of soda.

Bee stings are acidic. If you were to be stung be a bee, you need to add an alkaline substance to neutralise it.
