Post by: RoadKingLarry on April 01, 2017, 06:26:24 PM
Got a few pics of the hive entrance this afternoon before I went in to the hive to inspect.

Also managed to get my first bee sting since I started messing with these things last May. I wasn't "suited up" yet and was just taking a few pictures when one of the little darlings decided she didn't like me anymore, right on the side of the nose.

Only sucked a little bit, an hour later and the redness and is mostly gone and only a little bit of puffiness. I guess I don't have anymore reaction to bee stings than I do wasp stings.
