Put fruit trees and flowers on one side of the yard where the play area is not located. Only put plants that don't flower on the play area side.

And always keep Benedryl around. Sometimes bee stings can cause horrid allergic reactions. Gotta get that antihistimine into your body promptly.

I believe I saw a new bee product out recently. It's the kind of bag used for getting flies. The bees fly in and promptly die.

Funny true-life story about bees.

The 'bot took out the trash last week. That's supposedly "his job." Right. He came back in and said to me, "B."

I said, "Be what?"

He said, "B."

I said, "Use 'be' in a sentence so I can understand what you're saying."

He said, "A bee stung me."

I said, "A bee stung you? Where? Let me get something on it."

He said, "I didn't get stung by a bee. You told me to use 'bee' in a sentence."

Then I asked, "What are you talking about?"

He finally said, "When I took the trash out, a bee chased me."

What do you do? What do you do?

a few summers back i had to go to the ER because of an allergic reaction to a sting, i think it was a yellow jacket, not a bee. i put ammonia on it right away, but almost felt like i was going to pass out and broke out into hives. it was scary. i had never had that reaction before.

it also made me take a dislike to lambs ear (are you familiar with the plant? don't know the scientific name for it) i was deadheading that, and there was a yellowjacket nest under the one plant and that is when i got it. i pulled every dang one of those plants out the following spring.
