About Apis Mellifica
Keynotes: Stings, Puffy Raised Skin Symptoms, Common Hives, Stinging Pain, Pains with Burning Sensations, Urinary Irritation, Minor Joint Pain, Sore Throats
Description: Just as bee stings can trigger a variety of reactions, the bee remedy can relieve a range of responses whether a bee was involved or not.

Redness, puffing up, hot stinging pains and sensitivity to touch are the keys to this remedy as your solution.
