BULLDOUG 199 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Having nursed my four hives through the winter, expanding over the last month or so to 6. producing around 150lb of honey and looking to open a new apiary. It seems it may have to come to an end. Ive had many stings since being a beek, some more annoying than otheres but no probs (even stopped bothering about them TBH. I was stung the other day and had a serious reaction to it, put me in hospital, apparently my body stores the venom, so things are not looking good for my beek future. Anyone got any advice on what could help??? Anyway may have 5 red ceader hives with stands and 2 supers per hive for sale just now, all full of bees producing. SUITS, SMOKER, TOOL, HONEY SPINNER ETC.... D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scalesntails 118 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Just try and persuade the doctor to let you have an epipen. Then ideally only work with the bees when there is someone nearby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
