We have a pretty large organic garden in the back yard and have since we bought the house when my daughter was a baby. She has always understood that the bees in the backyard are good since they pollinate and help our garden grow.
Well, tonight she was on the patio and I went outside to check on her and she was standing with her face against the glass door. When I asked her what was wrong she stated to cry her eyes out. She said a bee had stung her on the finger. This was the first bee bite of her 2 years.
I took her inside and immediately make a thick paste of baking soda and water. I use it for everything so I figured "why not". The paste worked like a charm. It make the stinger come out and took her pain away. YAY!
As my daughter started crying again, I asked her if she was still in pain and she said no. Then she said, "Mommy why did the bee that pollinates our garden sting me, it hurt my feelings". I love that kid!!!
So I have found yet another great use for the non-toxic baking soda I love.
Till next blog......
