Instantly several bees flew at me...and then went back to the nest. Hmmm. They didn't seem to be particularly aggressive. In fact, as I watched, they worked intently on their nest. It was hard to tell what kind of bee they were so I moved in for a closer look. As a rule bees don't bother me, so I peered at them as they did their thing.
Suddenly, (and I do mean SUDDENLY!) 3 bees flew at me. One stung me so fast I never saw him hit me or take off. I just felt it.
Oh yeah, I felt it! It's been years since I've had a bee sting. Well I remember now. They hurt! It starts out stinging and then really gets to stinging. Over the next few minutes the sting gets hotter and hotter . I came inside, grabbed an ice cube, and put it on the sting while I Googled how to remove a stinger. I had heard the new rules but couldn't remember what they were.
As a reminder they are:
- No tweezers.
- Use a credit card or needle and gently scrape the stinger off.
- Apply ice to numb the pain, or apply meat tenderizer to the sting.
