Bee stings are acidic. So if you get stung you need to put bicarbonate of soda on a bee sting.

Bee stings are acidic. Wasp stings are alkaline. Sometimes exam questions have asked what could be used to neutralise either. So Bicarbonate of soda on a bee sting and vinegar on a wasp sting. Hope that helps!

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.

Bee stings are acidic, because of this they need to be neutralised by adding something that is alkaline to them (e.g. Bicarbonate of soda).

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.
