Nice Job again JP. I don't know how I missed this one on the forum. I especially like how you were talking us through some of the step you were doing toward the beginning of the video. Sorta like you were doing a tutorial of how to do a honeybee removal. Thanks for all the vids. Look forward to another year of great vids from you, scahwee and emil.
If you are not severely allergic to bee stings to begin with the body does build up a certain tolerance. One becomes less sensitized to stings. This has happened to me.
I still get a reaction to stings but nowhere near what the average person would experience. It also depends on where you are stung as well.
JP . What a great job. You are so gentle with the bees. Do you ever get stung? You had a bee crawling on your hat at the end of the video. It was beautiful.
Yes, I do get stung, on a regular basis. In the course of a removal on average I may take anywhere from 1-5 stings. On one where the bees are more moody 7-15 stings. After that I suit up, LOL!
I've also performed quite a few removals where I didn't take any at all.
This JP fan from PA is glad to see that you are feeling better. I have learned a lot from your videos. This summer I performed my first removal. To my surprise I opened up a home and found two hives. I was well prepared for the unknown. All the bees are doing fine. All my best JP
Hope you are doing better now. Glad the queen was in the vac box - it is disappointing to miss the queen. We are still doing some cutouts here and there.
schawee.....sorry for mispelling

I actually don't get a lot of calls for yellow jackets, usually in early fall though. Regular wasps I do get calls about.

Do the stings effect you at all anymore? Do you "feel" them or do you just keep going?

The nose and eyes are very sensitive areas.
