The swelling is almost gone, only a bit tender.  The sting yesterday on my
arm is almost gone. The
doctor said, bee sting therapy seems to be good in some people, but does
not recommend it  to all.
Especially me, as the knee replacement he is going to give me, should not
be subjected to any out-
side swelling.  The body already is not going to be happy about the strange
part put in to replace the
knee joint, and may try to reject it.  He said, give your bees some time
off, put empty supers on and
leave them for awhile. The bees seem to know to gather honey and pollen on
their own, and will do well
without my interuption.  Ibprohen seems to be the culprit. I was taking a
very large dose, so it could
have stayed in my system longer.  This morning, the bees seemed ready for
the day.  I was putting
sugar/syrup on my 5 new hives, and was brave when one buzzed my ear. I did
put up my hand slowly
as someone suggested, and it flew away. Many thanks for all the good
information from everyone.  I
don't want to give up my bees.  WALT in sunny SC
