>"It is a little-known fact that bees ignore bare feet, even if quite provoked and generally sting the upper regions" > >oh, I dispute that fact, at least with bees that speak "ya'll" down here in FLA! OK. I stand corrected. Let me re-sate. Even in Fla or SoCal, bees ignore *MY* feet (could that be why that fact is little-known). I guess I cannot speak for the feet of others, but should note that I seldom wear shoes. My feet are always exposed to the air and My Feet and Berks have no detectible (to me) odour.
