How To Stop Bees From Stinging?
I am allergic to bee stings and I do carry a epipen, but my question is this: I have been trying to work in my garden and I have been bitten from them, (swollen to a size of a half dollar). What can I do to have them quit biting me and to treat the bites

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would like to advise that you can prevent bee sting by avoiding them. You have to be careful.
If a bee sting had occurred, you should take an antihistamine like Fexofenadine 180 mg once a day.
Also local application of an alkaline paste over the sting area will decrease the burning sensation and pain associated with the sting.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
