Hi Headfry!
That's really useful to know...I'm sure some of the sting stayed in me as four days on, it's still swollen (not sore but red and raised). I'll be more careful next time. :-)

Most people on the allotment site are pleased about the bees...only one person has a problem so far. And I've just bee promised some bee keeping equipment from a friend who gave up a few years ago so I'm almost all set for the course on Saturday! Should be interesting. Fingers crossed goes well. I'll keep you informed. :-)

Thanks for everyone's help and support too!
