Zinger! Only 196 to go…

…stings that is! On Friday I got my fourth sting. This one was on my hand and really swelled up. Even though I wear a bee suit I choose to work bare handed as we’re encouraged to do. I am told that by the time you get 200 stings your body will have built up an immunity and you’ll no longer react.

 

I’d also like to thank Brion Dunbar of Burbon Hill Bees who has been mentoring me. It is so helpful watching an experienced beekeeper and having someone to field my endless questions!
