Bee Sting

Small lessons in life give me big understandings. I can still remember running from the pasture that morning, screaming for help and getting some “cou cou” that mom kept for healing. It took the stinger out and the stinging stopped. The finger was swollen and as I convalesced, I contemplated, even at that young age, about the vital balance in nature and the importance of each of our roles. That bee gave his life but saved many others of God’s creatures with my new appreciation of the insect world.

 

Bee Sting

Boxes from matches were kept in our community

Every boy would used them to trap a bee

Ease them over the bee then slide them in

So I did but the stinger was still protruding

The stinger in my finger was like a pin that’s hot

It stung but grammy cooled in from a concoction in a pot

Never again did I try to trap a helpless bee

Got respect for all God’s creatures and a love for ecology

    Many stings and bites take place during the fall
    months as the temperature of the days decrease. Reason being, bees, wasps and
    insects in general are cold blooded and they linger around people and pets in order
    to absorb body heat, therefore increasing the chances of getting stung or bitten.
    Last week, I witnessed a 4 year old girl with her hand and forearm swollen
    to her elbow, from a wasp sting that she received to her fingertip the day
    before. The sight of her hand and arm brought tears to my eyes because I knew
    that if she had had ">http://www.BeeStingCure.com">
    Baker's Venom Cleanser available when she was stung, none of her discomfort
    would have elevated to that extreme point of swelling and discomfort.
