Answer:

Assertion : Honey bee sting contains Acids.

Reason : Mild baking soda can give relief by rubbing on the stung area​

Explanation:

The assertion is correct that honey bee sting is acidic in nature and contains formic acid. It is also known as methanoic acid. Honey bee sting is painful but formic acid is not solely responsible for that . There are other active ingredients which causes pain for bee sting.

Applying mild baking soda can give relief by rubbing on the stung area this is because baking soda or bicarbonate neutralize the acidic effect and the reaction that takes place reduces the pain. Hence mild baking soda gives relief on the area stung by honey bee.
