Take the pain but leave the swellin'
Welcome back!
This week we’ll find out if bees can sting through clothes, and what you can do to prevent getting stung.
If you’ve never been stung by a honeybee, you may not think they hurt to bad since honey bees are so small and kind of cute.
But in fact, honeybees pack a punch! If you happen to be allergic to bee stings, they can be pretty serious. Otherwise, you will experience pain that can last up to 24 hours and some swelling.
I heard a joke one time of an old farmer who got stung on his privates, it was so bad he went to the doctor. When the doctor asked what happened he told him. The doctor explained they would have to remove the stinger. About that time, the old farmer asked if there was a way to take the pain but leave the swelling.
