The bumble bee, from the Apides family, like the honey bee, has a safe reputation, but it may occasionally sting man. The effects of a hymenoptera sting can be negligible, but in a certain number of cases very strong reactions are experienced which may lead to the person’s death. Aspivenin is very effective against poisoning from insect stings, although this in no way excludes recourse from seeking immediate medical attention in the case of a serious reaction on the part of the victim.

Bees are part of the hymenoptera family. It has a large number of species, more than 20,000 in total. Bees are not aggressive per se, unless they feel threatened, which is the case if you are less than 10 metres from a bee hive or from their 2 or 3 pollen gathering paths. Certain other conditions can raise their aggressiveness - such as wind, a storm, artificial perfumes, alcohol or even sweat. Their barbed sting, which comes off during the attack, stays in the wound with a pulsating venom pouch attached which keeps dispensing the poison even after the bee has flown off to die. 
In the case of bee stings, it is important to try not to rub the wound as this only serves to squeeze the venom sac attached to the sting, and push even more venom into the wound. The vacuum created over the wound site by the Aspivenin® pump actually bursts the venom sac and draws poison back up the shaft of the sting itself. Once this has been done the sting itself should be extracted with a pair of tweezers.

"Whilst on holiday in Turkey, my wife, who is allergic to mosquito and wasp bites, had two terrible wasp bites, but thankfully the Turkish hotel owner took the poison out with an Aspivenin – it was so simple and effective."
Mr. J. L. H., Merseyside, UK
"I first saw Aspivenin used to treat an insect bite on a fellow traveller whilst on holiday in Turkey and, having purchased one, my wife used it on our return home. In both cases the bites came to nothing, as there was minimal inflammation and no irritation. I could not help but be impressed by the apparent efficacy of the device, and will take it with me when we travel to Africa later this year."
Dr. M. T., Cambridge, UK
"As my business is building bridges for logging companies, many of my overseas trips involve periods in deep tropical rain forests and it has certainly been a comfort having my trusty Aspivenin with me. Whilst I am pleased to say that the opportunity to trial the product on a snake bite has not arisen, it has certainly been effective on insect stings, even several hours after the event, and gives considerable relief. It may interest you to know that I demonstrated the product to some of the foresters in Guyana; given that they are constantly in danger from many venomous beasts, they showed very great interest."
Mr. D. R., Stockport, UK
"I am writing to say how impressed I am with your Aspivenin device. Whoever invented it deserves a medal! I have for many years been extremely allergic to mosquito and cat flea bites. Foreign holidays have been a nightmare and trips to cat-owning friends’ houses likewise. Each bite develops into a persistent red swelling which itches and hurts quite uncontrollably for at least a week. I have tried everything and often end up with the affected part swathed in ice packs, which afford about an hour’s relief at the most – and them I am awake again. Last week I was suffering from two nasty cat flea bites from a neighbour’s house. I applied the vacuum pump to both bites that afternoon and again that evening. The itching subsided almost immediately. I went to bed…..and suddenly it was morning – a miracle!"
