Took One for the team!
« on: July 29, 2012, 02:33:12 pm »


Well doing a cutout yesterday one of those beauties got me thru the netting as I was looking up and the netting was on my face. Guess its official that I am a beek! :-D

Funny thing is that I went to sleep from the benadryl  I took after the sting which I always do just in case of reaction and woke up to this. My wife freaked out and I just laughed  :)

Yowser!  Looks like you've been in a fight  :shock:...hope the other guy looks worse!

My first sting as a beek came through the veil doing a cutout.  Right on the nose! But the good part was pushing the veil away from the face (which I did in a microsecond) pulled the stinger out so the sting was very mild.  Now I always try to wear a baseball cap under the veil to keep it off the face.

Hope you got a nice new colony to supply you with honey for your troubles!  :-D

Took 4 stings yesterday making splits before calling it a day.  Team bee seems to be winning.

+1 on the baseball cap.

Welcome to the club. Had one last year that I quit counting at fifteen. Four a day seems to be the magic number these days.

Aw
You guys had it easy. I did a cutout about a month ago and went to take a break form bending over a cutout in floor joist and leaned against the wall and took one just  to the left cheek.  :shock: I had a heck of a time trying to set straight up for a week. every time I twinisd the wife fell over laughing.

welcome to the stinger club the point of the spade club. :evil:
