Hello All,
It may seem odd to most people but laughing is what most beekeepers working
together do when something like the above happens.  The *Bee in the bonnet*
is going to happen every once in a while.  Other than helping pinch *a bee
in the bonnet* with the veil little else can be done by the other beekeeper.
All commercial beekeepers I have worked with do not run, slap or shout but
when you work bees everyday you devise other ways of dealing with *bees in
the bonnet*.
Bob
