It is fairly uncomplicated to handle a bee sting. Tobacco that is damp and applied to the sting will help take the pain away. This really does work. Tea bags are another good thing for bee stings. Take the teabags after they are brewed and cool and place on the sting. It is the tannic acid in the tea that even helps with the swelling.
