Use a credit card to remove the stinger
First thing's first: You have to get that stinger out. The longer a bee's stinger stays in your body, the more venom will be released, which -- you guessed it -- causes more pain. But you have to make sure you get the whole thing out; you don't want to break it off halfway like it's a botched wine cork. While your first instinct might be to use tweezers, opt for a credit card or something similarly flat to swipe the stinger out.
