Then there’s this from Mike on the importance of getting stung.
Thanks for the clip. I had heard about beekeepers' spouses becoming allergic after years of washing suits but I couldn't remember where I'd got it from.Then there’s this from Mike on the importance of getting stung.

Makes perfect sense.
I may be a man but I can operate a washing machine...and hang clothes on a washing line...
SWMBO won't make me a cup of tea let alone wash my suit, Since I left home way back when I have always washed all my own clothes - so that doesn't explain her severe reactions.Thanks for the clip. I had heard about beekeepers' spouses becoming allergic after years of washing suits
We have always made our kids (2 boys, 1 girl) do their own washing since they were teenagers. In our house we all had our own laundry baskets and if you wanted yours washed you made sure you got your washing in the machine first. The missus would always hang it out for the kids but it certainly made them think if they had no clean clothes to go out with their mates of a weekend or had no soccer kit!SWMBO won't make me a cup of tea let alone wash my suit, Since I left home way back when I have always washed all my own clothes - so that doesn't explain her severe reactions.
If you use nothing else, at least use a simple veil - a sting up the nose is also an experience, completely debilitates you for thirty seconds or more which, if you're in the middle of mad bees is pretty bad news." If I inspect a hive with NO vail then I always were glass's as this protects your eye's "
Please - NO. A bee trapped behind the glasses will panic and sting. Please always wear a veil if opening a hive.
ImpressiveJackets hung up in cold garage away from people...
I wash my own jacket.. Solution of soda crystal in warm water in bucket overnight. Then drained and straight into washing machine..
Then hung on washing line outside or in garage if wet.

Not really.Impressive
When I first moved away from home, I had no choice but to wash my own clothes, w hen I used to come home on the odd weekend, it was always with a bag of washing as I had no washing machine at my flat and white uniform shirts were a PITA to get sparkling clean, my grandmother used to insist on washing them for me (it gave her something to do) but I didn't want her killing herself doing the ironing so my mother told her that I was very particular about creases etc, especially in the sleeves of uniform shirts and as I had to iron them again after unpacking, it was pointless her doing it.If I don't do it, my wife will not so never gets done..
Ironing?
What’s ironing?
