I sure did have a day yesterday. I was able to get out and work my beehives, which was totally needed. I got to hive number 5 with out a sting and then the trouble began. I was taking the hive apart and one of the frames stuck to one of the boxes that I lifted out. Just as I got to the point of setting the box down easily, the frame went crashing to the ground and 100 angry bees began their protest. I only got two stings out of it so I continued working and put everything right.
When I left the field, I looked at my wrist to get the stinger out. It was too far embedded to remove and I didn't think anything of it. As the day progressed, my hand and forearm got bigger and bigger. And sorer and sorer. Today, you cannot even see the dimples in my knuckles. Its rather impressive. Sort of looks like I popped someone with that hand. I took some Benedryl and the swelling is coming down, but man that stuff makes me tired.
I am hoping that after almost 10 years of beekeeping that I am not developing a sensitivity to them. I'll keep my epi pen handy just in case and continue to enjoy my time with them.
Now back to the garden! Enjoy your day and I've been enjoying everyone's journals!
