During our maylay yesterday my dad was stung on the lip and it swole up perty good. This morning it is still swollen.
What can we do to get the swelling down?

Benadryl. Antihistamines will help with the swelling.
Not much. Antihistamines, ice.

P.S.: Veil. Facial stings suck.
Yesterday i got stung in my ear and on the end of the nose and today got one inside my nose.That one made my eyes water. :lookout:
And where waz your veil Ted :lookout:

In the truck. :eek: :lpf:
what really stinks is getting a sting on your ear while wearing your vail.
ouch....I had a similar experience with a yellow jacket when i was younger. I ended up taking benadryl and using enough ice on my lip to outfit a 4th of July BBQ
Last summer, I had a bee get inside my veil. I heard it buzzing but figured it was on the outside close to my ear. Until....I felt it crawl INSIDE my ear. It went right up into my ear canal. FREAKY!!!! I remained calm, however, and it eventually crawled back out without stinging me. Don't wish to repeat that little episode!

That happened to my 7 year old daughter last year. Climbed right in her ear canal. She screamed, well, like a little girl. I was ripping my veil and gloves off to tend to her, I was able to get it out, but it sure freaked her out. All in all, I was just thankful that it didn't sting her, tho I think any chance of her keeping bees ever in her life is D.O.N.E. :no:
