Note to self...

[howardaj31]

Note to self, it's probably not a good idea to get home from the gym all stinky and sweaty at 8 p.m. and try to open a hive up to check my super progress.  Garnered several stings from that little stroke of genius including one on my lip.  First time for the lip and I must say, it stunk!  My bees didn't like my foul odor as much as my kids didn't! :?

Now you know not to do that again.  :-D

[Shanevrr]

they dont like arm pit odor mostly

[Joe D]

They don't seem to like odor, aftershave, and other unbee smells, and I don't think they like beeing bothered after dark either.  The lip, and eye lids do seem to swell better that other places.

Luckily, no swelling at all.  I was quite surprised.  Just a dumb move.

You must have just got grazed by the stinger, lucky you!

additional note to self, do not inspect hives while you are hung over, they do not like it one bit,
