I am smiling as I read this thread! Today I was going to clean the front porch real good to make room for more plants (winter coming on). The first thing I did was reach up to take a creeping charlie down to throw out. She never was that pretty anyway and I need all these spots for hanging hoyas.

To make a painful experience short I got stung 3 times on the pointer finger (side and underneath of finger) and on top of my hand.

It is much more swollen tonight as I can't even close my fingers into a fist. I am not having much sympathy for the bees tonight (just teasing)........This is an important subject.

I took this pic when it first happened......too lazy to be more dramatic and show you what my hand looks like tonight...........the swelling has now moved across the entire top of my hand and fingers.
