And so it finally happened....
on a sunny October afternoon.
I took to my apiary to trim the grass from around the bee hive.
Who knew that bees weren't into giant, human powered lawn shears.
Four crazy bees and two stings later.....I survived to find that a truly magical rainbow had appeared, out of literally nowhere, to wash the curse words out of my mouth.
The end.
What a lovely surprise after such a nasty one from the bees.
ReplyDeleteOuch! My husband knows the feeling. He's the beekeeper : ) Maybe your bees will make up for it with lots of honey.
ReplyDeleteouch! wow, what an adventure you had. i love the views. hope you heal quickly. Beth does not like bees. yucky!! (:
ReplyDeleteOuch! Sorry you got stung. Glad it all ended with a rainbow!
ReplyDeleteI hope your not allergic to bee stings. Beautiful shots and hope your doing OK. I need a rainbow wash every now and then too. LOL
ReplyDeleteRainbows have the power to make almost anthing feel bettr.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the stings. What a pretty rainbow!
ReplyDeleteBee stings must hurt. My brother was once stung and he cried like a sissy :P
ReplyDeleteBut the rainbow gave you happiness which is good. Have a wonderful week Michelle :)
O, Gosh...sorry you got stung...those bee stings hurt sooo bad.
ReplyDeleteLove that God sent that rainbow at just the right time...:))
I was wondering if they have a bad attitude towards gas powered objects..Hubby has done weedeating around the hives with no problem but it sounds like they don't like your piece of equipment...I will keep that in mind.
ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow of 'forgivness'. xo
Raising bees, I've been considering giving it a try.. just one hive though... sorry about the stings but the rainbow shot is superb!
ReplyDeleteThis is another reason that I am not brave enough to have bees!:O{
ReplyDeletelol! A rainbow fixes everything! Sorry about your stings...
ReplyDeleteYeah, those bees...not so into winter, eh? ;-) Lovely rainbow!
ReplyDeleteWe all love happy endings!
ReplyDeleteoh, dear! glad you were not allergic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shock. And you are to be commended for such verbal control, Michelle. Under difficult circumstances....:)

ReplyDeleteEven when things go wrong, something good can come from it. :)
Oh wow- that must have hurt! Sorry you got stung...glad you are ok!
ReplyDeleteI hope you recover from the stings. That rainbow really should help!
ReplyDeleteWho knew! Ouch. Great shots by the way.
ReplyDeleteDespite the stings, that's a very poetic post!
ReplyDeleteYou are a brave woman to go out and deal with bees. They do have noise issues.
ReplyDeleteYou are a better woman than me! I can't stand bees!
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful it was just two stings! It could have been so much worse.
ReplyDeleteIn spite of your bee stings....you made a happy story out of this ordeal.
ReplyDeleteHope your stings are healing well...
Blessings,
shug
now that wasn't nice...glad your okay...love the rainbow...just makes it all better doesn't it...
ReplyDeletenow that wasn't nice...glad you are okay...beautiful rainbow...
ReplyDeleteEek.. good thing it was only 4 bees that decided to have you for lunch! Sorry about the 2 stings!
ReplyDelete((hugs)), Teresa :-)
You are a born storyteller. Me, I like buying honey from other folks who can take the stings.
ReplyDeleteJana - I am not allergic to bees and didn't really have any reaction at all, besides a small red dot.
ReplyDeleteSherri - I was using the lawn shears (the giant grass scissors) so no gas powered/noisy object was there. They just didn't like me clipping around the front of their hive!
ReplyDeleteowie...but a happy ending!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Reminds me a friend that tried to straighten out the cover on her husband's bee hive -- multiple stings later she ended up in the hospital. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteClose to a fairy-tale. Glad that there was not much harm. Please have you all a good Thursday.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good story to me. I'm getting the BUZZ right now.
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow is gorgeous, but ouch, ouch, ouch, Michelle. Hope your ouchies are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Laura
Your bees had just some attitude.Think of all the honey they are producing for you! Glad you endured the stings without issue.
ReplyDeleteHave you started getting honey yet?

When I was a child, I was hospitalized when my friend and I messed with a beehive. Not a good memory. Glad you are okay.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Glad it was just two stings. That rainbow shot is wonderful, especially with your story.
ReplyDeleteGreat read! I'm sorry you got stung.
ReplyDeleteOuch I hope you are alright. I am sure they are sorry:) Beautiful photos. B
