aren't swelling up much. Many beekeepers have told me they swell up the first 6-7 times they get stung, then stop. I tried that one year and never wore gloves. After about 10 stings and swelling throughout, I got tired of it and gave up on that theory...

Some people go anaphylatic (sp?) shock, so I keep an EPIPEN handy at all times. The one good thing about it is I will take an antihystamine tonight when I go to sleep, and it makes me sleep like a baby.
