A very good sign. I've seen nothing like it for a long time. The only time I've been stung by a bee was when I was a kid, seven or eight years old, a little jerk, and purposely annoyed the bees.

There are lots of programs in various States to get bees going, funding for Independent Beekeeping businesses. Without bees, no food.

I've been stung a bunch, luckily not allergic. I left a soda can sitting outside and took a drink and it was in my mouth, it had gone inside the can, and it stung my lower lip. Ouch. The few seconds of 'what the hell is happening?' more upsetting than the bee sting, lol.

Fun fact: eating locally made honey helps with allergies to local plants, if you have them. Honey trucked into Wal-Mart from another State won't do the trick.
