Bee stings beneficial for PMR?

I've been stung by a bee twice in the last few weeks, walking on grass with open toed slip-on shoes. I haven't been stung for years.
My current reduction down to 6.5mg pred has me anxious, as last time I reduced to 6/6.5mg I had a pain and inflammation flare which sent me back to 15mg start dose.
Expecting that bee stings could worsen PMR, I googled the effect of stings on arthritic auto-immune conditions and had a pleasant surprise. Unless you are allergic to bees, the melittin in bee venom has medicinal properties "antibacterial and anti-viral properties, anti-inflammatory properties, pain relieving properties and anti-cancer properties."

I've had no new pain at all so far since reducing to 6.5mg. I don't plan on being stung again, but wouldn't it be great if those bee stings turned out to have helped.
