I never did post on this inspection (it’s August now and I’ve backdated the post).  Pictures here:

That’s the one when I wore shorts, got stung and slashed myself with my hive tool.

Stung!

Noah and I went out to inspect today.  Just as I was closing up, Noah said, “Hey Daddy, did you see that on frame 1!”  So I pulled frame 1 out again.

Noah says that I squished something.

Bees came out.

I was wearing shorts.

I got stung.

Worse, I slashed myself with my hive tool more times than I was stung.  Those things are sharp.

Action items:

  1. wear long pants
  2. don’t pull a frame out for a second look
  3. put the hive tool down

Update:

Bee sting:
