Sure it was a Bee sting and not a Wasp, Bees will only sting you as a last resort as their sting has barbs on them and will rip its guts out when trying to remove it after stinging you thus killing its self.
 
not sure but the swelling was impressive i wish i could inflate the car tyres as fast :D didn`t see what it was just thought it was nettles at first. bruise the size of a pint glass top. nasty little thing whatever it was :D might have been the mother in law hiding in the bushes

My wife was bitten by a spider in our garden the other year, a nasty lookin red and yellow striped thing. Her ankle looked like a speedboat !!!!
 
was doing some work in a big supermarket chains hq once and something came out of the imported fruits cartons and bit my extra leg, now that did hurt although as the swelling took over i thought i may have a new career in the video industry. one nurse and a big needle later ahh :)

:D:D no comment :rolleyes: and they were water melons :D tell you what you should have seen them come to life 30 minutes after we turned the air con off. everyone there was bitten at one point or another makes you wonder what we are bringing into the country in them fruit boxes though.

what crawled out, you could of kept it as an exotic pet,
or since it bit you squish it
 
You lads are going about it all wrong. I dont like gardening, so the missus does it.
 
i did once try to leave it till someone else did it but guess what? i ended up having to do more at once :mad: so now i just keep up to it. trouble is with my house is the garden is surrounded by an acre of land and we have a garden each side and two near the end of it that have blooming vine weed and thistles growing through now that makes ya mad cutting back others rubbish
