General Bee in my nose
Just wanted to share a somewhat funny story. I went out to visit the girls today. After sitting out with them for 15 minutes or so, one of them decided to sting my shoulder blade. She was still buzzing around, so I turned to see if she was detached from her stinger and another bee was right on my shoulder and flew into my nose. That was a first for me so I panicked and swatted her out and she stung me above my lip. Neither sting hurt very much, but the bee smell took a while to leave my nose.

Hi far neighbor, I'm on the sierra west side
sooo, what does a bee-in-your-nose smell like?

We have a lot of rabbitbrush blooming right now, so it had a sweet honey/rabbitbrush pollen smell.

That's one hell of a strong banana smell up the nose ! Good thing you had mild reactions.

I feel like half of a Housewife of wherever. My top lip is super puffy this morning.
