Bees are cool! Unless your allergic. Buddy of mine has a epipen? I asked him if you used the epipen why do you need to go to the hospital? He said it is what keeps him alive until he gets to the hospital! Now that's allergic! I have heard if you get stung regular you build up a immunity to the poison, I have heard of people that use bee stings to help arthritis. I love honey, it is good for you and can be use for first aid on wounds.
Looks like it's about the same price as here if you add our VAT, Oz.
Al, some people like to just replace their tin roof, but you can save a lot of money by painting it every 15-20 years instead of replacing it every 25-40 years.
Luckily, I don't have any allergies. At least that I'm aware of. Ginger makes me sneeze sometimes though.
I have an epi-pen as well even though I'm not allergic. It's recommended to have one if you keep bees just in case.
As I get older I get more allergic to things - mostly chemicals. The soap at work, which is supposed to be hypoallergenic, causes a lovely raised red rash all over my hands.
