I'd certainly tell the professionals that I'd like the honey!! That stuff is expensive anymore!! (Of course, what isn't?)

Were these regular honey bees or killer bees? When you mentioned that animals were killed, it made me wonder about what kind they are.

I pray your DH is doing well, and I hope they will be able to remove the rest of the hive. YIKES!! :shock:

Guess who was glad she remembered about the clorox about 6:30 this morning? I got stung on my leg UNDER THE COVERS!
Our poor Emily (Doberman) thought it wise to relocate to my sisters bed after that.

It was better than the one I got on the left side of my forehead. . .

Baking soda mixed with a little water to make a paste works wonderfully. I was very blond as a child and stung daily-literally. At one point I stepped into a bee hive in tall grass while camping. A nurse who was also camping said it should have killed me.

I use Clorox for no-seeums (Fl only I think) and even mosquito bites if I get them soon enough. It's amazing how well it works. Glad everyone is healing from the bee stings. We have bees in our crape myrtles every year when they bloom but they've never stung anyone. Maybe they protect the honey?

Thats amazing that everyone is doing fine, I'd probably be dead I have a severe allergy to anything in the yellow jacket family including bees. Carry an Epipen with me everywhere, here they will not sell you anything to kill bee's the animal control people say it's illegal. Told them I didn't care I'd like to live so I finally found an exterminator that came and got rid of our hive. I was told the same thing too that bees and wasps are creatures of habit and they will return each year to the same spot they have their hives. I've got the exterminator on speed dial now.

So glad that everything turned out okay.

Using meat tenderizer helps too. One of my daughters was stung severeal times by wasps and we had to rush her to the emergency room 20 miles from where we lived. The doctor said if you had used meat tenderizer on these stings you would have saved yourself a 20 mile trip and the child a lot of pain. He said the tenderizer was good on any kid of sting or bite. We keep it on hand, carry it on the boat, and keep it in the first aid kits. Just rub the place with a little water and sprinkle the tenderizer on and rub lightly.
