so my thought is monoculture.

I like that idea very much.

in answer to a question yes antibiotics for the bee sting. as my hand had developed a rash and itched like mad

I am led to believe that the potency of the stings reflect the age of the bee 18 days being optimum (this being the age a bee becomes elilible for guard duty )

I had a sting in the back of my hand which I reacted badly to last year. The hand was very red and swollen and moving up my arm (the red and swollen, not the hand ). I went to my surgery's minor injuries clinic and was given a prescription for antibiotics - which I didn't exchange. The good advice was HC45 cream and antihistamine tablets.

i would just like to point out that women dont get as stung or as badly as men do, we have man stings like man flu but worse

Have any of you noticed the smell ?

I got a sting on the wrist the other day, i have never smelt the pheromone so strongly before, it was akin to the smell from a citronella candle in the garden centre, it was so strong.

They could smell it through the sleeve of my jacket as every time i picked up a frame, they were up my thumb and forefinger en masse.

Gotta love em.

What antihistamine do you usually find most effective for stings?

Piriton is what i use. I keep a strip in my bee tool box.
