    White Starling

    Although rare, this variant isnt unexpected in starlings. There are some (stuffed i have to say) on display in the Natural History museum. This characteristic is also present in blackbirds and other similar birds. Often if there is one seen there will be others in the area with similar genetics...

    Swarm on the floor!

    apparently, this lot had already swarmed on a bush about 5m away initially then decided to move and splat on the floor like a big moving pancake. Maybe the queen was exhausted. Why would they shift postion? Dont make it easy sometimes do they!?

    Range of reactions to stings

    :iagree: Mike, I have seen liquid on the front of my veil around the time of starting to feel a bit allergic- I had thought that this was condensation of my breath however your observations seem to confirm my thoughts that they can leak it via their sting without actually stinging. Perhaps...

    Range of reactions to stings

    Does the bee smell provoke allergy symptoms? Does anyone have reations to just the 'smell' of bees alone?? Not swelling or pain but reactions similar to hayfever- runny nose, irritated lungs, sneezing...? The scent of the hive on opening is quite potent and then if the bees are at your face...

    Bee stings

    Wasp sting venom and bee sting venom involve different chemicials- usally if you react to one you wont react to the other. Adding vinegar or bicarb to the sting site will only affect the local area- the venom will have likely been injected below the skin level and enter the blood stream fairly...
