If a bee bite (sting) is acidic you don't use acid to counter acid you use a base. I have always used baking soda, a few drops of tea tree oil (you can get it at walmart) mixed with just enough water to make a paste. This will handle ANY vespid or apies stings as well as mosquito bites, and even some forms of excema. To prevent mosquito bites altogether, take a small soda bottle (empty) stuff it with the foliage of 'mosquito plant' (it's a geranium hybrid your local nursery will have it.) 'lemon grass' and black-stemmed peppermint. Then fill to the top with Witch Hazel (also bought at Wal-Mart) and let it sit for a few days. Rub this concoction in the major hit points, neck, ankles, back of the knees and on the wrists. This will usually keep you from getting hit. An additional note on mosquitoes. There is no such thing as an actual 'repellent'. Nothing repels mosquito's except the sub-sonic sound of dragonfly's feeding. All you do is confuse the mosquitoes receptors from identifying CO2. Smokers tend to give off more CO2 than non-smokers. The mosquito's don't bite you because they can't 'see' you due to the confusion of CO2 receptors being blocked or inhibited.
