Title: Reasons why you should always wear a veil when bee keeping.
Post by: Roughlee Handled on July 22, 2009, 09:44: 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.

Title: Re: Reasons why you should always wear a veil when bee keeping.
Post by: peapod on July 22, 2009, 22:52: 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 ;)

Don't forget folks, he -does- have pigs and horses. Don't owners start to look like their pets and vice versa? :D

Post by: NigelB on July 23, 2009, 10:38: :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.
