Hello All,

I am seeking cures and remedies for bee stings, especially strange obscure 
cures.  If you can provide any leads to the possible source of the remedy, 
or to where I may find a reference, that would be greatly appreciated.  
Any ‘leads’ would be helpful.  

A few samples of the types I am seeking:

“rub the bees that has stung us, or any other bee around the wound. This 
is making the body the antidote to the tail.” Jacob Isaac 1799 
‘The General Apiarian”

“Cure a bee sting by covering it with earwax.” (10)

“To stop the smarting of a bee sting apply some clay kneaded and thinned 
with urine.” (7)

‘a bee sting treated with ammonia and whisky, will relieve you in a 
measure’ (8)

Thanks in advance!

Best Wishes,
Joe
