Hi,
I recently opened up one of my hives to do some extensive work and enlisted the help of a friend. The bees were particularly unhappy and stung my poor friend around and through his gloves. I was stung once on the breast.!! However, my question is around the fact that when he went to open up his hive 3 days later his bees reacted in a similar fashion yet are normally very placid and attempted to sting him again around his gloves. I followed up my hive work a week later and guess what..... I was stung in exactly the same place.
Now, i am presuming that in both cases this must be down to attack pheromones remaining on our bee suits but is this the case.?
