anyone hear buzzing in their ears after messing with the bees?  I hear them all night after a cutout.

Funny you should mention that.  I have never heard a buzzing sound in my ears after messing with my bees but I did my first solo cutout on Friday and was exhausted when I returned home.  It took me forever to fall asleep because of the continuous buzzing sound in my ears. The noise in my ears was gone by morning.

Interesting that you should post about this, Duck.  I experienced my first swarming today.  I was in the middle of two of them and then spent several ours working getting the bees out of a briar patch.  Naturally there was a lot of buzzing.  Later, while inside on the computer I got to hearing something...bees!!!!  Naturally it was the fan running....the ground beef frying in the kitchen...etc.,.  Kind of strange....but, it sure made me think BEES. ;)

Yes, this happens to me as well if I am spending lots of time with the bees.

Yep, I hear the bees for awhile after I have finished working with them. It doesn't bother me so much now, but it was a little unnerving the first time I noticed it   :-D

I'll admit I hear bees at odd times during the day and find myself looking around for the swarm.  The funny thing is, it's not swarm season here yet!

I think it's all wishful thinking on my part!
