I tilled Wife's vegetable garden today and found a lot of grub worms in the soil. I picked out a bunch and put them in the bird feeder for any of our bug-eating birds.
I was in the workshop putting my tools away when a bee flew in. I stopped what I was doing and waited for her to finish her inspection of me. I thought I would just watch when she landed on my wrist. I was a little worried that she might crawl into the cuff of my work glove, get caught and sting me.
I shouldn't have worried.
She stopped short of the cuff and stung me anyway!
Was this retribution for sentencing those grubs to death? Was she the same bee I had seen scouring the bird seed earlier when I dumped the grubs in the feeder?
Anyway, my wrist hurts and its swelling, reminding me that Bakersdozen had a remedy for bee stings which I can't seem to find with the search function.
Bakersdozen, if you're listening out there, what was your secret recipe? I'm probably too late for this sting, but if the girls are going to start hunting me down in my workshop, I'd better have some on hand.
