Usually it takes a few hours for the swelling to go down. If you have a large local reaction to the stinger, the swelling will increase for the next 1 or 2 days but will subside after the course of about a week.
The time for a bee sting to heal can depend on a number of factors:
From personal experience (you can't be a beekeeper and not expect the occasional sting) the pain will go in an hour or two, but any swelling can take anything from a few hours to a couple of days.
Quite a while. About 72 hours to say the least.
Ice it. Also, if you do not have a Sting Kill product handy, immediate application of meat tenderizer will neutralize the wasp venom and reduce its effect on the victim.
Under normal circumstances, a wasp sting will heal in 2 to 5 days. If you have an allergy or sensitivity, it may take slightly longer.
The pain will be immediate. The level of swelling will vary from person to person.

Treatment for a wasp sting will depend on how severe the condition. If there is an allergic reaction to the sting, then medical attention is needed. An antihistamine or allergy kit can be treatments.
Bee venom is acidic, but it is not the acidity that causes the pain and swelling of a sting: that is the result of two peptides, mellitin and apamin. Even if you could neutralize the acid, it would make no difference to the symptoms. In fact, as the venom has been injected under the surface of the skin, any alkali put on the surface of the skin that is strong enough to neutralize the acid would probably do more harm than good. Bee stings are acidic with a pH of 3.5
Take it to the vet before the swelling gets worse.
Swabbing with vinegar can take some of the ouch out of a sting, especially mosquito bites.
If the stinger is removed immediately then it should hurt for a few hours and may itch for a few days afterward. The longer the stinger is left in the longer it will take to heal. You should not scratch or rub the sting as this will delay healing time as well. If you haven't had a tetanus shot recently you might consider one, especially if you have been stung several times.
it just means that it is starting to heal. As long as you don't itch it, it will soon go away. But if you have a rash around it or its swelling this could mean your allergic. I would see a doctor about it if you have those things happen. Hope I help you out.

How long it takes swelling to go down after a bee or wasp sting varies greatly from person to person, as well as from insect to insect. For example, wasp stings generally take longer than bee stings to subside in swelling. If you are allergic to one and not the other, though, it may take much longer.
