The occasional bee sting really doesnt bother me.. Got stung by a hornet today.. Mowing with the bush hog, saw it land on my leg.. flicked it off, it went out, and curved right back in and hit my right cheek right under my eye. It stung as I grabbed and smashed... only go me once before it paid the ultimate price, but yeah, it hurt worse than a honey bee sting...
Have been stung by angry honey bees... counted thirty plus stingers, so am quite sure there were at least ten more stings... Felt quite fine for several hours.... about 3 AM I started sweating... by 3:30 I was throwing up.. by 4:00 I was asleep on the floor by the toilet.. woke up the next morning feeling fair.. sore back from the hard floor.... Lets just say when you go to collect a swarm hanging under a large branch.... make sure the bees you see are not covering a HOLE in said branch... we will leave it at that......
