Reasons why you should always wear a veil when bee keeping.
Last night i changed the syrup feeder over and normally I do this with out a veil or smoke. I must have crushed a bee when I put the feeder back on as I upset them got stung on the ear!!
I now can do a good impression of Prince Charles, well on half of me can.
I got away lightly stung on the ear. If I was stung on the nose or on the soft bits around the chin it would have hurt allot and I would look more ugly than I normally do.

Oh Rough, what is this - getting competitive are we :D??? Mind you, only the Gaffer got to see my sting ;), oh and the Dr. :)

No not trying to be competitive honest. I did not want to be stung. But you live and learn.

hey wing nut :D Pip's laughing her socks off, she wants to compare fatalities, she slipped in the mud and the pony trod on her leg, she hobbled in declaring she was mortally injured, so i said "well, what were you doing messing about on the floor under Ziggy's feet?" that didn't go down well :nowink:
seriously pet, will you have a caulliflower ear for long? :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Rough you're one big softy.
Why don't you pull it off down the local as a cabbage ear from rough and tumble at rugby?
Well it shows your bees know what to do around pansy's...
-
I cant see whats wrong ??? ??? ???
-
he's got a wing nut ear, it sticks out a mile "can you get the internet on that Ruffle?"
-
Its photoshopped
He looks like that anyway...and his nose isnt usually that straight..and he has a wart on the end of his nose thats always red because he plucks the hairs out too harshly, and he wears a syrup
Apart from that hes a hunk ;)

Peapod you forgot the horrible taste in online videos :D (Ask Kate)
Don't forget folks, he -does- have pigs and horses. Don't owners start to look like their pets and vice versa? :D
-
I think you are all being very mean. Before I was attacked by this swarm of bees I was a size 8!!! :tongue2:

Prettier than me :mad:
But aw Mike fanks babe, you made my day ( I think) :D

My ear has gone down slightly today. As a rule a bee sting will stay up and ichy for 3 days.
The wife is calling me Jodrell as in the Bank. :(
-
:D Funny thread... And thanks for sharing it ear. ;)
Shouldn't giggle really though, as I'm sure I'll get stung a few times when I finally take the plunge and get bees myself. For now I'm just trying to learn as much as possible from folks like your good self so I don't make the kind of mistakes that cause the bees to suffer.
Thanks for the advice, and for the chuckle. Get well soon.
