Bee Stings – Steve’s Top Tips

Steve recently returned from his annual sojourn up to the French Alps, where he enjoyed a fortnight of hiking, fishing, mountaineering and canoeing while breathing in the fresh mountain air.

But along with the far-reaching views and beautiful scenery, the countryside isn’t lacking in natural hazards. Fortunately, Steve is well versed in the dangers of the natural world, so when he was greeted with a sharp bee sting while reaching to pick an edelweiss flower, he knew not to panic.

It’s a common misconception that bees die as soon as they plant their sting. But this isn’t always the case. If the person on the end of the sting gives the bee the time and space to recoil its stinger, it can fly away with its life intact. With this in mind, Steve stayed calm when he felt the sharp sting in his hand, and rather than going to swat the bee, he let it make its apologies and watched as it flew off unharmed.

So, if you ever find yourself on the end of a bee sting, follow Steve’s advice and try not to panic. Stay calm and composed, and you won’t just save yourself a nasty sting, you’ll save the little creature’s life.
