About this listen

 Is it true that a bee can only sting once? I asked, as he leaned over the vibrant crocus beds. He chuckled softly, responding, What good is a sword to a soldier if it can only strike once? While its true that bees typically dont sting more than once, thats only because youre too quick with them. ...Now, let me show you how it really works. As he spoke, a bee landed on his hand. With a gentle clasp of his fingers, he encouraged it to sting. Now, he continued, unfazed, observe what truly happens... (from The Bee-Master of Warrilow) Steeped in the wisdom of his bee-keeping ancestors, the Bee-Master of Warrilow is a devoted guardian of the enchanting world of honey bees and the rich tapestry of English bee-garden life.
