I went down to my Mentors hives today as his mate was away and he only had use of one arm after an operation, started of ok did the first hive , two supers ok, but after opening the brood box i commented " these are calm today" with that i got stung on left side of chin, think me bee suit veil moved, with that we couldent get sting out then bang, i got stung in the groin, and on my ankle, think i brushed bee into boot. then i must have had about 50 bees all over my overalls, and i had to move, i walked about 100 yards and still i was getting hammered, even to the fact i had to get in my car with suit on.
Anyway my confidence was shattered these were well out of order mad bees.
I got home and after a cuppa i checked my overalls and counted at least 30 stings. Pain or what/
On good side, after getting home i was reluctant to do my bees but after cuppa i did them with Linda, went through whole hive no problems, so calm again dident use smoker, so alls ok.
Only after math is my face is bloody sore.
