As an aside: I saw a story years ago about this happening to an older lady.
It was 10-15 yrs ago, at the dawn of dashcams in police cars, and the police drove up on her as she was being attacked by hundreds of bees.
The thing that stuck with me was she said after getting out of the hospital she never had arthritis ever again. Getting stung hundreds of times cured her arthritis.
Thus, I am looking for a hive willing to sting me hundreds of times in my lower back between vertebrae number 1 and 4. Might just be the final solution to my back pain.
Oh T-Bone, let me know if you find a hive for that. My thumb’s been killing me and it does impact my violin playing. I could handle a few stings anyway.
