Poor lil gal my butt ... I did nothing to her. I was watching TV. Minding my own business.
You probably had the WRONG odor! lol They are very odor sensitive, we make sure not sweating, no perfume, no deodorant when working on the bees.

Someone once told me that the smell of a ripe banana makes bees attack! True or false?

From what I have read and heard from others yes they do. I have not tested the theory.

"Ripe bananas give off isoplentylacetate, the main component of the honeybee alarm pheromone"

Did I mention my arm is still swollen and sore .. :cry:
Well I recall you saying you wanted the symphony.............

Why would I put something on it to make it go away, I'm getting a lot of sympathy ...lol

next time a patty of baking soda on the sting sucks out the ouchies That unkers stuff works wonders, it does not swell or hurt just itches a little

Wasps stings hurt me for weeks, bees stings go away faster.

A guide for those who don't know the difference. It made me laugh. (If the language is offensive let me know and I'll delete it even though it's true).
