I've worked harvests at wineries for 3 decades. The bees always come

these little buggers will find you, you don't have to find them, and
when they find you, its not one, but a hundred that comes after you. all
you have to do is be in their vicinity for them to attack.

Heh... Obviously being said by someone who knows less than nothing about
bees. Typical trolling idiot.

Hint: I've not only witnessed others doing it, but have personally
worked amongst bees that were coming and going so thick and fast that
they couldn't help but bang into me as they traveled. More times than I
can recall, I've worked hives while wearing nothing more "protective"
than a T-shirt and a pair of sunglasses. Yet here I am, still able to
type this message, and at last count, my "stung while messing with
beehives" score was 3. Yep, three. Guess that's what I get for catching
a case of "fat fingers" and mashing a bee while trying to get a grip on
a frame...

I never liked working with glasses. Thankfully I could see well enough
without. Was always afraid one would fly between my lens and my eye and
get all freaked out. Probably freak the bee out too. Grin. Stung a few
times in the four or five years my family had bees. Usually my fault. No
big. Scrape the stingers. Never grab and pull.
