I am not going to lie, it hurt my feelings more than the sting hurt me! This is the first hive ever had and they are always so gentle. Monday I weedeated all around the hives and they ignored me. Tuesday I get popped for no reason.... Cry
Matt, I'd be :'( too!!! My feelings would be mega hurt. And I'm an unblinking flippin' shameless, non-cryer who can't stand chick flicks and other sob movies, but that would make me sob the entire day! lol! I'm pretty thick-skinned but not when it comes to getting stung by a beloved honeybee. But they always say you can't be a beekeeper without being stung at least once if not dozens of times, right? Ah, the things we do for loooove, hehe!
Hmmm, from reading just the title, yeah I would think wind would make a honeybee cranky as well as being shut up in the hive for too long because of unending rains. With my crazy imagination, I like to imagine honeybees as being "little people". I'm sure that any sort of bad windstorms shaking up their hives or making it difficult for them to fly or get to their destination is gonna make them a bit grouchy and cranky....
P.S. I wonder if there is such thing as a "Bee-whisperer??" I remember reading a post about someone reaching with their bare hands into hives so I wonder if any folks here have had real good luck with getting almost no stings ever but with lots of exposure ..Just curious, lol!
