Thanks Carolyn!
I found a few remedies similar to the above listed below.
I have found 89 referenced ‘remedies’ so far, to add to my 100 remedies 
for a bee sting list. ;)

“the first thing to do on being stung by a bee is to remove the sting, 
suck the poison out and compress the skin around the lesion; then cold 
water should be applied to the sting area and the lesion should be rubbed 
with onion.  Parsley leaves, wormwood, mint, fresh honeysuckle berries, 
vinegar with water, water with quicklime, volatile alkali or a drop of 
phenol, Lysol, thymol, are all good for alleviating pain.” (29)

"The juice of the ripe berry of the common coral honeysuckle (Lonicera 
caprifolium) is the best remedy I have ever used for the sting of bees, 
wasps, hornets, &c.” (30)

“The leaves of the trumpet honeysuckle species were ground by chewing and 
then applied to bee stings.” (31)

“Take fresh papaya, and slice off a slice. Apply it to the bee stings for 
about 1 hour.” (38)

Best Wishes,
