I think the beekeeping hobby, that my partner in crime and I plan to do this year, has hit it’s first bump in the road. My partner in crime was stung by a bee yesterday. Her language was extremely colorful. I am pretty sure this wasn’t her first bee sting, but the reality that this will be a common occurrence might be a bit of a damper on the idea. I have never been stung by a bee, just a yellow jacket and I feel in my heart a bee would never do that to me. Yes, ignorance is bliss, so just leave me there. Even though I wasn’t there, I had informed her that it was not a bee, but a wasp or a yellow jacket. I don’t think I convinced her. I will lie to her again today and see if telling her in person makes it more convincing.
