Another cautionary tale! Always wear your protective gear!

Extract : Take a wide-mouth glass jar, approximately two to four inches in diameter, and about one inch high, fill it to the brim with sterile water, and cover it with some animal membrane (a ram’s dried scrotal sac is most appropriate)

Please tell me the ram is not still alive when this happens! Haha......forgive me, just being cheeky Very interesting link. Thank you.

I can just imagine a communal amongst the male subscribers

Thank you for all the replys. It was definitely a bee as i saw it crawling along the carpet afterwards. Poor wee thing, it looked like a young bee too. I am fine now and will just have to be careful. Perhaps it was because the sting was really squashed into my skin when I stood up. Hopefully its a one off. Think I might use the excuse of having a shot of vodka before opening the hive though .... just in case.

Definitely AFTER the apiary visit smell of alcohol plus attendant clumsiness won't bode well for your beekeeping
