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...
