Rh If the bees attack you, move slowly away, smoking them off as you go.

If a bee annoys you by her threatening attitude for some time, kill her ruthlessly.

If stung by a bee, rub off the sting, instead of pulling it out with the nails of the thumb and fore-finger and thus forcing more venom into the wound.

Ammonia applied to the wound made by a bee-sting will usually afford immediate relief.
