I was tending bees happily, helping a friend in her beeyard. She had to rush off, leaving me to finish up. I left the yard to get something, came back and two guard bees rushed out and gave me the business! I swear they knew their "mom" was not home and were wary of a lone stranger in their midst...WesternWilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765821422247317378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-77837487302139265742011-05-02T09:33:04.598-04:002011-05-02T09:33:04.598-04:00Linda said that I get to much pleasure out of some...Linda said that I get to much pleasure out of someone else discomfort (when they get stung). I guess she is right. I am just thankful usually there is no one around when my turn comes so no one will laugh at me. I am very sensitive and my feelings are hurt easily.....Ha!!<br />John Jones - Stone Mountain, Ga.John Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827034292711812320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-36940788526155566222011-04-29T13:51:52.709-04:002011-04-29T13:51:52.709-04:00The saddest part of the story is that the swarm I ...The saddest part of the story is that the swarm I bought the swarm catcher to catch turned out to be a cut out in a house wall. Oh, well, should I get a swarm call this year (none yet this year, but cross your fingers), then I'll put it to use.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-72545944471809155022011-04-29T13:05:55.860-04:002011-04-29T13:05:55.860-04:00Charlotte came out into the beeyard yesterday then...Charlotte came out into the beeyard yesterday then came into the house fussing that a bee was chasing her. I ask her what it was with Linda T. and you about the beeyard. I went back out and no body bothered me. Went back inside and Charlotte came back in saying another bee was bothering her. I don't get it. I still feel bad about Linda visiting my yard for the first time and getting popped. However, based on what Linda said as it being the best sting ever I guess I have to be a little proud of being no. 1.<br />John Jones Stone Mountain, GeorgiaJohn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827034292711812320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-45892195462007443382011-04-29T11:23:55.036-04:002011-04-29T11:23:55.036-04:00Linda,

All of a sudden an aggressive guard bee started dive bombing and chasing me and then stung me on the shoulder. Totally unprovoked. The worst sting I ever got though was through my beesuit on my behind. That one swelled to the size of a grapefruit and was painfull for 3 days! It made sitting a real challenge. Who knew that bees could sting through the suit??Dorishttp://honeyofadiel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-69247613343448814602011-04-27T16:34:03.161-04:002011-04-27T16:34:03.161-04:00Funny guy - but I do love your swarm catcher!Funny guy - but I do love your swarm catcher!Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-21846753775367030222011-04-27T15:57:10.688-04:002011-04-27T15:57:10.688-04:00Linda Provoked the bee.

Must be a look thing. Not quiet sure how Linda and Charlotte manage to do that but it happens. I checked on Linda the next morning and her pain was gone and no fat lip. She will live.
