Hi all

We must start a club...
Membership qualification... Being stung by a queen.
I qualify for membership, but it has only happened once to me, in more than
twentyfive years of actively picking up queens.
I have been stung a few times by workers when picking up the queen, but the
queen herself leaves no evidence behind.
