Can You Tell?
What Happens When q Bee Sting,
By L.. J. and A. W. Bodme,

After the bee has penetrated the
H"Sh with his sting and worked it into
you 50 deeply as to satisfy him. ho
begins to lind that he is a prisoner
and at Uunr undertakes measures TO yet
away. The average bee is generally
beaten to death by whoever he is sting
ing at this stage bcruro he gets away.
If III" one who is being stung, however
can control himself sufficiently and IL
willing IT, devote himself TO observing
the bee, he may see that as soon as thr
bee finds himself thus caught he begins
TO walk around circle. anchored as
i" Is by the sting, just as If the latter
were n screw which he was about 70
turn out Of a board. II allowed TO
continue. the bee will work out Of his
predicnnrnt alone and get away un
harmed.
II this !a allowed to occur no very
serious harm will come to you as n
result of being stung, because the bee
takes with him his whole sting, poison
bag and all.
When Stung by n bee TINT has nor
been allowed to get away in his own
way, It is quite desirable to get the
sting out as quickly ms possible. for II
the barha once get hold in the flesh

greatest distress occurs when the poiSon

It the blade of knife should be slid
under the poison bag and the sting
lifted out. 1t is the poison bag thai
causcs the inflammation which results
from the sting, and If this is removed
without breaking it. none of the poison

sting itself If left in the wound cause
little or no discomfort,
Primarily the bee is given sting
TO enable him to protect the hive from
