    Can't help with a natural remedy for cleaning drains or a zillion others, but maybe with the bee stings. If it was a bee, it likely left the stinger in your skin. You should be able to see it and remove it as soon as possible. Use tweezers or your fingers. A wasp, hornet, or yellow jackey usually does not leave the stinger, but it still hurts. I grow the broad-leaf variety of aloe vera, and I use this on stings, even from scorpions. The pain disappears rapidly.

    2 things you need to know: 1. Are you allergic to bee - wasp stings? If you are, I don't recommend a home remedy except as recommended by your doctor. 2. Are you allergic to aloe vera? Some people are.
