What was I saying about stings?

I've now managed to collect three in the last two days whilst not actually doing an inspection. The first two were up at the local association apiary meet. My hair was stuck in my eyes so I left the apiary to go sort it out, soon as I took my veil off two angry bees ambushed me and got me on the neck and cheek. They're still throbbing away but otherwise I don't seem to have too much of a reaction to them.

On this afternoon's inspection up at my own apiary I got stung before I even got into my kit. I'd already learned that bees love to fly in my hair so I don't tend to get too close the hives without kitting up first. Even so, rogue bee, right in the barnet and a sting to the side of the head before we could get her out. Still not dead which is a positive I suppose
