Err, not always actually, there are occations where a bee can sting

You BOTH could be correct.
Because:
The washing was facing into the Sun and I did notice a flying
something take off when I started to collect the washing.
When I collected the washing I laid it over my Left Forearm.
Then I felt a sharp sting, a bit like a good jab with a Pin on a
knucle.
I thought perhaps it was a sharp in the coat pocket I had just pulled
off the line.
Then, another jab on the back of my left hand a few seconds later.
I just brushed at this jab and carried on doing my good Husbandly
duty.
Then, 30 seconds later still feeling a burning on the back of my left
hand I glanced down to see a sting and pulsing Poison Sac sticking
to the back of my left hand.
That one was certainly a Bee :)
So, with great care and some panic I removed the sting and Sac.
Still, it gets me out of doing the washing up :)
Anyway, the trub is, because of the unusual form of Arthritis I have
I'm a bit Immune suppressed as well as being Aneamic.
Also, the last Wasp sting I had this summer knocked me out for a
week. Stung behind the Right Knee and my Skin blistered as well as
the joint locking up and swelling.I had been playing Doom in my
darkened bedroom wearing shorts, no honestly :)
My GP reckons I have to be carefull and get checked out even if I'm
just barely affected initially because my reaction to each sting is
more dramatic.
So I have some more pills to take.
He He Hee.... I'm sure I rattle now.
Kind Regards, Michael
