        Interesting you should mention biting, a lot of beekeepers look
at you rather strangely when the subject of biting is mentioned. I seem
to notice this more when perspiration is present. The thing that amazes
me is that although the bite is painful enough to be noticed I see no
tell tale signs of the instance.
