Bee Warned

One day when I ran out of money, I knew where to get me free honey, But forgetting one thing That the owners do sting, And black eyes from bee stings ain’t funny.

Sounds like the voice of experience. The honey could be worth it.

G'day Duke... oh yes, but quite a while ago. I don't think any honey is worth being stung by bees. Thanks for your comment Duke - Lindsay

Hello Andrea... yes, in the past, bees have given me a number of black eyes from being too inquisitive. Thank you once again Andrea - Lindsay

G'day Kim... you can laugh Kim. Due to too many bee stings I must be very aware of them now because of an allergy. It serves me right though... leave bees alone! Once again, thanks for your support Kim - Lindsay

Thank you John... for some reason or other, almost all of my encounters with bees have me being stung close to the eyes; hence black eyes - catch you John - Lindsay

G'day Kim... there is certainly a price to pay when an amateur honey collector gets involved. Thank you for commenting Kim - Lindsay
