Content: A 
          sting to the tip of the nose or the ears can bring genuine, heartfelt 
          tears to the eyes of even an experienced beekeeper. Pain from 
          stings on fatty areas of the body can inspire amazing language from 
          the victim. Stings in bony points like wrists and ankles can 
          cause some temporary aching, much like arthritis, and as for more 
          private areas, well, the swelling is not quite what some might hope 
          for... Sorry! Some 
          beekeepers consider stings to be huge joke, but stings should be 
          taken with some seriousness, if at all possible. <G> 
Immunity to Bee Stings     
Seasoned 
          beekeepers experience virtually no reactionto stings and 
          generally ignore occasional stings in their daily work. Beekeepers still feel the sting the same as anyone else, but since 
          they are not worried about stings, the sensation is soon forgotten. Normally good beekeepers wear a veil to prevent stings to the face, 
          but work with bare hands and receive occasional stings to the wrists 
          and hands. People who 
          have never been stung by a bee often have no itching or swelling 
          at first. After a number of stings most people begin to itch 
          more and swell at the location of the sting. Sometimes the 
          swelling can be quite extreme (and comical if it occurs on the face), 
          however swelling is a normal reaction in someone who is developing 
          immunity, and only lasts until immunity is developed.
