If we are swopping stories......
When in the Army as a young man I has several hives open near an army
airfield, working with a face veil but rolled up sleeves,  when a jet
fighter flew thunderously very low overhead.  The bees, until then quiet,
suddenly fiercely attacked, covering my arms completely with a layer of
stingers, which I kept brushing off, foolishly as it just made room for
another layer. I was hospitalised for a few days with what the doctors
called protein poisoning - high temperature, almost in a coma.
Now I keep away from airfields.
