Not my lucky weekend really, got a beesting on my thumb not too much of a stress as I seem quite resiliant, and it just minorly irratates, but yesterday, a wasp stung me at work, in EXACTLY the same spot as the bee did! Now is this a pheramone issue or just me being damned unlucky, as wasps and hornets REALLY b**ger me up, I swell and get a tightness in my chest, but thats ok, say my hospital, as if it was a proper allergic reaction I would not betalking to them I'd just go into anaphylactic shock and die, So looking like Joseph Merrick in agony is nothing to worry about.
Bloody NHS....
Bloody wasps....

Also, I looked at my hive today, in the weekends aftermath, to find a very beautifull yet very much already hated, iridescent blue bird, the size of a finch, happily gorging on my bees!!!
*sigh*:ack2:
So any ideas of the bird? or even why a wasp hit on the bee sting?
My oh my, learning curve?

I think its a heat thing,they try to find the warmest spot to attack.
 
Frederick. Could it have been one of these?

That's funny - it works for me whether it's got 2 W's or 3 put with 2 you need to copy and paste into your browser.
 
I think Firefox will correct the link for you but not IE.
 
Oh ok, thanks, seemed a little like lighting striking twice! LOL! :D
 
I'm keeping a eye out now, as soon has I can 100% say what this feathered feind is, you guys will be the first to know, although I don't think its either one of those pete, its beak was shorter my dad seemed to think it could be one of these....

Looks like a bee eater, but not as colourfull, I know cornwall is getting to be a bit of a immagrant paradise for odd species, but I do hope its not a bee eater....

I'll keep you posted, and if I can with photos! Cheers mate!
 
You know, I can't help but love your optimistic out look my friend! Superb! :D I've not been near the hive the last two days as its thundery and not too charming for my babies, so I can't say if this feathered muncher has returned...
 
We all want a photo - of the bee eater that might be, not your sting. :)
 
You know, its bloody typical, I've not seen it since, dad says its still there.... I'll try my best for pic guys!
 
did it look like this?

Ha Ha, dunno, can't be bothered to re-type it all, and clicking doesn't work.

Maybe you could edit your post and get rid of the URL bits for us Rosti ? It looks like there might be two URL's joined together as well. Help. :)

Have you not heard of 'copy & paste'?

Yours Roy
 
Copying an error reproduces it. What's the point of that ? At 01:15am the game wasn't worth the candle. :)
