Sting Reaction

9/8/2013

0 Comments

 
As a new beekeeper I am keeping track of my stings. I want to make sure my reactions to stings are normal and don't get worse. I have a localized reaction, which means I swell up right around the place I got stung. My face looked a little funny and swollen for a few days, but then returned to normal. It seems like all of my sting reactions are the same. It hurts for the first minute and then the pain is gone and no swelling. The next day it starts swelling. It stops swelling a day later and then starts going back to normal. Every sting is different and so far every sting comes in a different part of my body. Being stung is never fun, but if I can learn what I did wrong, then I can take better care of myself and my bees.

    Staring at the dancing bees in an observation hive, it hits me. I love how these tiny creatures communicate. It looks like they're having fun dancing around while telling their sisters where to find some nectar.

    I created this site to share what I know about these amazing creatures such a tiny creature has such a complex way to carrying out its purpose. And it all looks so simple. It reminds me that God takes care of the smallest details as his creation dances.

    So here goes. Join me on an adventure with bees. I hope we can make learning as fun as the dancing bees informing their sisters of sweet nectar.
