Thorn you must have really annoyed your bees - that's a long way to climb until she decided to sting!
 
I did actually get stung on the todger. Doesn't hurt anymore than anywhere else. It's all in the mind:icon_204-2:

It begs the question why were you waving it about in the apiary?

(don't make such a fuss said the nurse - it's only a little prick!)

Baggy trousers I suspect.

I never used to tuck trousers into socks (or wellies which I try to wear) until I got a sting inside my trousers.
 
threw my wellies a few years ago ... bought some rigger boots instead.
:iagree:

They're better than wellies because they have reinforced toe caps and are made of leather so the feet don't sweat as much. A bit more expensive though.

When bees sting leather boots, you cannot use them any more in bee handling. Dry stings and poison in the leather irritate badly bees.

I don't know about you Finman, but my boots have never yet been stung but if they were then I could clean them as easily as I could clean any other footwear.

Finny should give these a try, they will be easy to keep clean. :rolleyes:

I had new leather boots and I kept them twice.
.they were full of stings.

I keep sunday shoes, £ 100. They are comfortable.

Don't the heels sink into soft ground?

Brings to mind the younger women at the last funeral I went to. All was ok in the church.

Then they all fell backwards at the graveside:eek:
