EASY TO HANDLE THE BEE
STING IF YOU KNOW HOW

The sting of the honey bee is
painful, but interesting. If the vic
tim understands the structure and
operation of the bees defense wea-
pom, he can prevent much of the
pain and swelling. j. I. Hambleton,
in charge of the bee culture labOra-
tory of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, gives this
cheering information.
When a bee prods it's victim it
tears itself from it's sting. sacri-
flee which costs the insect its life.
But the sting left in the skin has
Just started on it's way, for it and
the poison sacks attached are equip
ped with muscles which tend to
drive it deeper and deeper.
The sting is composed of two Ian
Gets, each provided with series OF
sharp barbs pointing backward sim
liar to harpoon. The reflex action
of the muscles attached to the sting
mechanism is such that first one
lancet is driven into the flesh. where
it anchors, then the other, and so on.
each lancet going little deeper and
becoming more firmly lodged. Dur
ing this time the muscles are also
squeezing the poison sacks in such
a manner that poison is constantly
being pumped into the wound.
Most persons make the mistake of
trying to pull out the sting. When
this is done the pressure of the
fingers empties the poison sack into
the flesh. The sting should be i'm
mediately scraped or scratched out.
and since no time is to he lost
looking for a knife or even in open
ing one, the fingernail is the bet
thing to use in the emergency; SAYS
Mr. Hambleton. who has frequently
made the demonstration before in
terested visitors at the bee culture
laboratory.
With the brief explanation given
by Mr.. Hambleton anyone may be-
come a good demonstrator, but he
should not expect the process to be
entirely painless.
