Unfortunate Sting Location
« on: March 15, 2014, 04:26:40 pm »
Got this one yetserday. Thought well they are very busy. They wont care that I look a little. Used smoke and had closed things up and then went back out to stand and watch the porches for awhile.
Was standing between a couple and to the rear.
The one that got me was like you hear about a sniper bullet. "Don't hear the one that gets ya" ! Well she came on a direct path...right under the lower eye lid. 24 hrs later, I can at least see through the slit.

I've been popped in the face a couple of times, several at the same time. nothing pleasant about it at all, but didn't swell like that.

Awwwe Geez! Bummer! I do the same thing... don't alway veil up. Just last week I got it AGAIN inside the nostril. Tears for about an hour. But I don't swell cause I let a bee sting me once a week. Sorry Garden :(

Was just about to sit down with a cup of coffee in the cafeteria here at the palatial head office of Worldwide Beekeeping, when I received a text message from none other than Chef Unknown!
He was made aware of member Garden Hive's plight, and in order to help ease his pain, he quickly whipped up this little delight.
While perhaps it doesn't directly help ease the pain, it would certainly distract one enough that maybe it would be just a bit more tolerable.  ;)
For posting the pic......

Umm, Perry, I don't want to complain, but that little sweet desire looks a lot better than the one that the good chef made me a few days ago when I took one in the lower lip. That's okay though. He probably already knew that I needed to lose a few pounds.  ;)

Bee very careful what you say here, the Chef regularly reads these posts!  :o
If you think I'm kidding, his friendly brother used to appear on Seinfeld (remember him)?  ;)

Maybe it's the swelling she's thinking about.   :-[ ;D

Beautiful those are the ones that make for fond memories once the pain, itching and swelling have gone down. Thanks for sharing your pain.

I always wear jeans and barn boots when working with hives.  I have a tendency to use my knees and it is a common sting site for me.  The sting is like a quick shot, it is the dang swelling and worst-the itching! Oh the itching, itching, itching, itching!
