"It turns out elephants are terrified of bees because when the insects sting the inside of their trunks the pain is excruciating and there?s little they can do about it"
I know that feeling, getting tagged on the beak is like getting smacked with a stick, all you want to do is get the &$!# outa there!
Can't ever say that bk'n ain't a learning experience!

Very cool and I notice their hives are suspended from a string/rope. That would solve a few problems with pests in the hives.

I took one in the columella (skin between the nostrils) and it was the worst I've ever gotten.  I can't imagine inside a nostril, where you'll have difficulty getting the stinger out.

Michael,
The worst part is having to ask your buddy to pick out the stinger.  :grin:
