Happy you aren't down in bed, HD. You could be next time, so watch it!
Wearing sandals, I stepped on a wasp's nest one time. Thought my foot was broken.
I kept Italian honey bees over a 10-year period. They are interesting creatures & I loved keeping them till Africans infiltrated one of my best colonies. Mean, nasty critters.
Did you hear about that man and his wife who got swarmed by the killer bees? She died. He ended up in intensive care, but I didn't hear any more about him. I know he is still suffering. IIRC, he had over 2000 stings.
