My own honey bees attacked me when someone else was manipulating the hive
and I wasn't wearing the proper gear. I received so many stings that from
being a bit resistant to them I've gone to 'don't get stung - ever'.

I well remember a rambling holiday when I was viciously attacked by honey
bees. A bee keeping member of the group told me that bees can't stand the
colour blue, I was wearing a blue, short sleeved shirt at the time. He said
that no experienced apiarist would ever dream of wearing anything blue, the
very sight turns them into flying furies. The same applies to wasps. You
have been warned!
