The Buzz on Bee Stings


Bee Trivia
* A bumble bee retains its stinger after it attacks enabling it to sting again. However, a worker honeybee loses its stinger after an attack and dies.

* Bees fly around twelve miles each hour.

* On a windy day, you're more likely to get stung by a bee.
Below are ten sure-fire ways to address a bee sting. These treatments are easy and effective. You'll be able to use them on your entire family.

1) Lipton Tea Bag. Dampen a Lipton Tea Bag and place it over the sting. Hold it in place for fifteen minutes. The tannic acid in the tea will relieve the pain and also draw the stinger to the surface of the skin making it easier to remove.

2) Listerine. If you dab Listerine on a bee sting, it'll relieve the stinging sensation. Also, the antiseptic in it kills the proteins in the bee venom and disinfects the sting.

3) MasterCard. You can remove the venom sac and stinger from a bee sting by using this card or any credit card. Just lightly scrape the skin. Then, flick it away.

4) Parsons' Ammonia. First, remove the stinger. Next, grab a cotton ball and douse it with Parson's Ammonia. Afterwards, place it on the affected area. The ammonia will neutralize the acids in the bee venom making the pain go away.

5) Pepto-Bismol. To soothe itching skin due to a bee bite, slather on Pepto-Bismol.

6) Popsicle. This remedy will please everyone with a sweet tooth. If stung by a bee, use the exposed end of a popsicle to remove the stinger by brushing it back and forth over it until it falls out. Next, apply the wrapped, icy end over the bite to sooth the pain. Afterwards, have a tasty treat.

7) Preparation H. Place a liberal amount of Preparation H over your bite in order to reduce the swelling, so you can remove the stinger. It also will help relieve the pain.

8) SueBee Honey. After you remove the stinger, apply this honey on top of the affected area. The properties in honey act as a disinfectant and antiseptic. As a result, it will reduce swelling and ease pain.



9) Heinz White Vinegar. First, remove the stinger. Then, with a cotton ball, apply Heinz White Vinegar to a bee sting. It will neutralize the venom and relieve the pain.

10) Domino Sugar. Mix water and Domino Sugar into a paste after removing the stinger from your skin. Then, rub this sweet goo over your sting for a few minutes. The sugar will neutralize the poison from the bee venom.

RECAPTURING WISDOM

WISOM CAN BE DEFINED AS THE INTIMATE EMBRACE OF TRUTH.......
Actually the apprehension of wisdom may be simpler than you first suspect- it is available to all-I believe there is but one major difference between wise and foolish women. Do you want to know what that is?
Knowing when to let go....and when to hold on.
Thats it. Wisdom is always found in this dynamic of change......
Wise women know what to hold fast to and what to release, while foolish women hold on fast to what will kill them and release what will bring them life..... go as far as your power allows, and if nothing changes you have no choice but to let go- excerpt from Fight like a Girl- -LISA BEVERE

Seek and You Will Find

Do you know the Jesus I know? Not the one who looks like he picks daisies and runs in a field with children -- the real one... The one who is a man's man... the one children adore and is their hero...the one who men like to be around and emulate... the one who knows a women's heart, admires her strengths and covers her weaknesses . The one who knows and has conquered all. The one who said do you want to be well --than get up! Thats the Jesus I know .... If you haven't met that Jesus - you should..for with Him all things are possible.


2 Timothy 1:7

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.


DO WHAT YOU CAN AND GOD WILL DO THE REST

John 5

2Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep Gate. This pool in the Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porches (alcoves, colonnades, doorways).

3In these lay a great number of sick folk--some blind, some crippled, and some paralyzed (shriveled up)--a]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[a]waiting for the bubbling up of the water.

4For an angel of the Lord went down at appointed seasons into the pool and moved and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was cured of whatever disease with which he was afflicted.

5There was a certain man there who had suffered with a deep-seated and lingering disorder for thirty-eight years.

6When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, Do you want to become well? [Are you really in earnest about getting well?]

7The invalid answered, Sir, I have nobody when the water is moving to put me into the pool; but while I am trying to come [into it] myself, somebody else steps down ahead of me.

8Jesus said to him, Get up! Pick up your bed (sleeping pad) and walk!

9Instantly the man became well and recovered his strength and picked up his bed and walked.
