This morning while attending to the bees I got stung. I could feel it coming as one got entangled in my hair. immediately I made it to the outside watertap and within a minute held my head under the cold water, and then filled a large bowl with cold water to dip my head in a few times. It worked wonders. (Was also a welcome cooling as it is cooking hot here these days). Relief was instant and stayed. I'm new to beekeeping and wasn't even sure if I'd ever had a bee sting and how I would react. Happy with this experience.
