My Final (I hope) Sting of This Season...

I'm a cautious beekeeper, and I almost always wear all of my protective clothing when working with my bees, so I rarely get stung.  My sting of the season was a good one though!  I had closed up my hives and was putting my equipment away in the garage.  All was well until I was getting out of my suit on our back deck before heading back into the house.  One of my girls went rogue, and dive bombed my forehead as soon as I removed my veil.  Didn't see it coming and she got me good.  Just above my left eyebrow.  Day two swelling pictured below...
