Title: Helped a friend with his bees
Post by: Irwin on May 13, 2011, 05:55:12 pm

I didn't have any gear and the only place they would sting me is on my head. The guy in the bee suit is my friend Bruce.

I think mama hit you with a frying pan, but that was a pretty good story about helping you friend anyway.

Those gals looked plenty mad.

Irwin, I feel your pain
I was hit 7 times on the head a week ago. There is something about being stung on the face, it just hurst like mad.  The two stings in my lip made me think my lip was going to explode from the swelling and my right eye was darn near swollen shut.

When I get bees that are this aggressive, I re-queen!

Every time I get stung in the face I feel as dumb as I look.

My guess is that they re-queened themselves.
