Baking soda is applied on the stung area because rubbing a mild base like baking soda solution on the stung area gives relief, as it neutralises the acidic liquid injected by the bee. But when a wasp stings a person, it releases an alkaline liquid into the skin. Thus rubbing with mild acid like vinegar on the affected area gives relief.
