I heard this today in reference to the rich:
Those who eat the honey don't need to meet the bees.
Yesterday, I was out in the meadow behind my house,throwing a stick for Murphy Jones. I was wearing sandal, and I stood on a bee. I had to hop back to the house. I was yelling, Murphy was barking, and I final sat down and pulled out the sting.
I had to get my glasses to see what I was doing, that is why I didn't just pull the sting out when I got stung.
We poured vinegar on it, sprinkled bicarbonate of soda on it, because one of them is for bee stings the other for wasp stings! Eventually the pain went away, and now it just itches madly.
I hope it was not a honey bee!
