I had just put a new nuc of very calm bees in my garden temporarily. Which I have done previously without issue. There were no problems until one evening while watering the garden my neighbour called my name. I instinctively turned with hose in hand still on full pressure and caught the entrance of the nuc.
The girls didn't take kindly to this and defended themselves by attacking me.![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
Only thing to do was stand still eyes closed and let them vent their anger. After 10 stings to the face the girls returned home and I had a swollen eyebrow where vast majority of the stings were.
One and only time the girls from that hive have ever launched an attack.
I am now very careful where I point my hosepipe.![Exclamation :!:](./images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif)
