It varies.
I've never worn wellies. My trousers fold down on my shoes, and my bee suit overlaps them. I've never had a problem with bees climbing up inside my trouser legs.
Until today. And she got right to the top. I was tidying up and crouched down to pick something up, whereupon she stung my scrotum.
In future, it's boots.
And no, pictures will not be posted.

Welsh tradition anyhow!

A little higher, (Honey bee sting Pain index by Michael A Smith) and you'd have scored an Extra 0.3 points on the pain scale!

Wait for the swelling, they won't need pics, you might need a wheel barrow (AKA Buster from VIS). :gnorsi:

Years ago I had a tear in the crotch of my jeans, on crouching down a bee flew directly in and stung me on the proverbial, my wife wanted the pain to go but the swelling to stay:icon_204-2:

My eyes are watering... no, not with laughter.. :smilielol5:

Well, OK just a little bit but you do have my sympathy :D
 
Ouch!!! I was advised to wear wellies and always have and definitely will carry on now I've heard this.

:laughing-smiley-004:laughing-smiley-004:laughing-smiley-004 , you might be onto something here , a new treatment for impotence with could reult in more swelling with the more stings administrated..:spy:
 
threw my wellies a few years ago, they rubbed like hell and bought some rigger boots instead.
