It happened yesterday, I was initiated into the world of beekeeping as i lowered a freezer bag syrup feeder to the bottom of my top-bar hive. One of the workers darted right in and stung the back of my finger. I finished putting the baggie down, scraped off the stinger, sucked to get out any venom i could, smoked it to hide the sting pheromone, smoked the hive again, and went on raising the edges of the baggie so syrup wouldnt spill out, and then poked some holes in it with a nail. all ready to go! So there it is! didn't hurt near as much as i had expected, and didnt really swell up much at all, which contrasts my reaction to a wasp sting, in which my whole arm would have swelled up Today (morning after) it itches a little but that is all. It was kind of thrilling in a way lol
