Getting Ron a "bigger digger"



You make the absolute BEST comments, Rick.  lol

I got nailed by a bee on my arm last Sunday in Christchurch, Ron.  And I'm a bit allergic, so by Monday my arm was pretty swollen up.  It took about 2 more days for the swelling to ease up, but at least I didn't have to  see a Dr.  The one that got me was a honeybee, not a wasp.  I didn't even see him on me til I felt the sting.

We were at a family BBQ last week to celebrate Emily's results and Chris was doing exactly what this picture shows, that is allowing a wasp to settle on his arm just to prove it wouldn't sting unless it was agitated. Never mind I saved him, quick as a flash I smashed my hand down on his arm to kill the wasp and hey guess what happened? The force of my wack caused palpitations in the body of the wasp and naturally the sting came out and did the business!! Ah, now that'll teach you to be smart Christopher!! LOL

Would any other member dare to do this?

I like bees. I always let them rest on me and never swat them away. I think if you do agitate them they will sting.
