Really Guys! it's so simple. Just put one bee on, once a week or every two weeks, all year long and you won't have the swelling and itch anymore.

I don't purposely get stung, but also don't take any precautions against it neither. Like wearing a suit, veil, gloves, light colored clothing, tucking in shirts doing up the top 3 buttons.

If I'm going to be tearing a hive down to check out the brood boxes, I put my veiled bee shirt on. But often in the summer when the bees are very busy and happy, I'm in my tshirt and jeans.

heheh, I pulled the tele covers and foam today in a t shirt.. was 62 Degrees.. Broke the first sweat of the year.  Mostly I started to sweat when I realized I had my BLACK T shirt on...  They didn't care,, they were as happy to be OUT as I was to see them out.

i find my bees are little angels, except in the spring.   I figure all those winter bees sit around for 4 months just getting grumpy.  That and nobody bugs them all winter and they get used to it.  It takes at least a month in the spring for all those wintered bees to cycle out.

I don’t get what’s wrong with the picture? My lips look like that normally. 
I did get nailed in the eyebrow and that eye swelled shut.  I was joking at work that ‘when your wife says no she means it’.  I got called in for a 1:1 with my boss! He was going to go all cowboy on me and I had to come clean.
