Default gardening with a bee/wasp allergy

That's very true. Bees are attracted to hair spray.

Avoid drinking soft drinks and sugar sweetened beverages just
before and while gardening.


When I was just a kid, and my brother was a younger kid, a bee flew
into his bottle of soda pop. He took a swig and didn't know the bee
was there and he ended up in the emergency room with a bee sting in
the throat. He, to this day, claims, "Yummy!"
