An eminent apiarist told me that honey bees especially, can't stand the
colour blue. Whilst out walking in the country, I was stung by bees quite
badly. All down to me wearing a blue shirt and sun hat that apparently made
the bees very angry indeed. The beekeeper said that no sensible apiarist
would dream of wearing any blue clothing near their hives. The stings could
have been a lot worse as luckily I wasn't wearing denims. You have been
warned!
