When a bee stings a person, it injects an acid (methanoic acid) into the body which causes pain and irritation. Thus, rubbing the baking soda \sf{NaHCO_3}on the sting area gives relief, as it neutralizes the acid injected by the bee because it a base. Both the statements are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
