Today’s Run:  Rest Day from being stung.

Mowing around bee hives is a dangerous occupation.  Mowing around bee hives without protection is just plain stupid.  And that is what I did yesterday and today I am paying.

We made splits in our Apiary a few weeks ago and the bees are still adjusting to their new homes.  Some of them are having separation anxiety from their old hives~at least that is my theory.  They are grouchy.

Normally, when I mow, there is a certain distance I can go without getting the bees all riled up.  That has changed.  I obviously cannot do that anymore.  I must “suit up”.

I was mowing along, enjoying the warm Spring day when all off a sudden, Bzzz!!!  All around me were very angry bees.  I turned the mower around and made a break for it.  But not fast enough I am afraid.  I got stung three times by my right eye.

I am a sight this morning!  My right eye is swollen shut, the right side of my face, the right side of my head and down my neck~all are swollen.  I am not going to win any beauty pageants this week!

Fortunately, my husband is laughing with me not at me!
