Does anything take the sting away really well. I was limping all over the house with the bakins soda paste dripping off my foot and the dog kept trying to lick it off.

We used to use the baking soda/water paste, but we heard about Adolf's meat tenderizer. We make a paste of Adolf's meat tenderizer and water and apply it to the sting.
It works better than anything that we have tried!

An antihistamine like Benadryl can help, as can applying ice packs to the stung area. Additionally, you might try a paste of meat tenderizer (you can buy this in the spice section of the supermarket) and water instead of baking soda and water. There is an enzyme in the meat tenderizer that breaks down the venom of the sting.
If it's quite painful, taking a couple of Tylenol will also help. Good luck and take care of that foot!

Here's a little trick. Put a dab of mud, yes, I repeat, mud on the area where you were stung by the bee. The earth's natural coolness will suck out most of the poisons and it won't sting as much nor as long. It's easy and simple. Just grab a handful of dirt and mix with a bit of water if you don't have 'pre made' mud. Works most of the time, but not on wasp stings.

Carefully remove the stinger being cautious not to squeeze the poison sac on the end of it.
The apply some moistened meat tenderizer. It works,

Bakins soda is what we use but when it isn't available we use MUD. Water and dirt also do the same thing.

Yeah I bought this stuff at a grocery store a long time ago, its got a few small cylinders that you just break and half and rub the juice on your bee sting, it helps a lot.
