Stung right on the knuckles
Beekeeping
Friday, May 29, 2020 by Frogboy | Discussion: Life, the Universe and Everything
I do my first Spring inspection on the new hive. The bees are really gentle so I don't bother wearing gear. No problem.
But when I go to put the hive back togoether, one young bee has managed to get stuck on the outside. Knowing that she isn't likely to find her way back in (she can't fly yet) I take her on my finger and try to get her to walk back in the front. She insists on walking on my arm.
Eventually I gently blow to get her to move back towards my fingers and into the hive. When she reaches my knuckles, BAM, she stings me. No good deed...

If you wet an aspirin and rub it on the area it makes the burning go away. But I guess if you’re a bee keeper you would know that.
