I decided to crack open my veil to taste some raw honey. A bee came in with the honey and soon stung me under my chin. I am glad you didn't get stung. I am sure once the other bees smelled squashed bee, they all wanted to get you. I had this happen to me once. I decided to crack open my veil to taste some raw honey.

The top of the hat is very wonderful, and I hate that you can't see it here. And, Marcia, I, too, have been known to panic a little when a bee gets trapped inside my veil with my face. In fact, yesterday I ordered an official Golden Bee suit with the zip-on veil. I'll let you know how I like it...but I have a feeling that I'll stick with this hat and this veil for routine hive visits. I got the bee suit for bigger deals...like bee removals.

Getting bees inside your veil is not a good thing, I have been known to dance a panic dance until said bee is dispatched !

And freaked out and cried and ran back to the house if she got stung even once. She said she'd always be irritated and feel goofy afterward, and go right back out to her bees, but that's just how it was for her. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen! At least you've still got your bees. And maybe they're having a whole lot of fun sitting in their hives laughing at how weird you look in your funny outfit. Also, I asked B about doing construction for your bee removals. He said as long as he doesn't have to go near a bee, he might be into it. Hah. He doesn't know construction but would be just fine at helping someone who does.

What a fun story about the bees on the cruiser...I love how calm the beekeepers are in it. Just brush them off and put them in a dust pan and drop them in a box. Simple as that.

All in all, I'd say it's worth it. Oh yeah!
