This gardener is a little irritated because she's been stung twice in as many days. Both times on the right ankle, just above the sock line. The stings are wonderfully symmetrical,too. One on the front and one on the back. It's like a grand plan or something. I might even believe there was a master plan, but it happened in two different yards. Fortunately I am not allergic, so while I'm whining that "it hurts" at least I'm not swelling up like a balloon.
So, now I'm on the prowl for sage advice about avoiding stings and what to do for the pain. I wanted to share a couple of great resources that I've come across, and remind you (and me) that bees are wonderful creatures, and without them we'd have a much more difficult time growing fruits and vegetables.
First is site that's devoted to bees, the link here goes to the page about stings, but I encourage you to check out the rest of the site as well because there's some great information there.
The second link is to a blog that has a great article about Natural Remedies for bee stings.
As for me, I'm going to try a remedy or two, right now.
