Camping season is upon us. Enjoy!
only time i got stung was when my dad went to jail and i had to check on his apiary in the middle of winter to see if they were still alive.yep! they were still alive! lolWhen I was learning beekeeping we were checking on some hives and it started to rain. My beekeeper friend says let get out of here. I said I just want a quick look in these last 2 hives. He says he'll wait in the truck. Lol... so I pop open the first layer and the bees are noisier than usual. Then my brilliant self pops the next layer. Instantly I was covered in angry bees. All I could see through my mask was stingers trying to get me. I ran about a qtr mile around that field brushing off angry bees. Ended up with about 20 real stings and about 100 little stings. Holy shit. Even after they were mostly gone and I was taking off my bee suit another stung me in the face.
Don't tend bees in the rain. Pay attention when someone teaching you things decides to not stand anywhere near you. If I had not been wearing a suit I would have easily had 1000 stings and probably ended up in the hospital.
It did have a hell of a buzz... not recommended and no pun intended
you're getting very sleepy
for the mileage, it looks to be in incredible condition. broke in correctly, everything works well. what's not to love ?
