Install and sting

I picked up a 4 lb carni package from Mapleton Bee Company for my buddy Haddock.
He was out of town so I installed the package in a newly constructed, beautiful, western red cedar TBH.
I took the little guy along to play on the trampoline while I played in the hives. I set the new hive down next to the old hive and must have bumped it. Instantly several girls were head butting me and warning me. Also several went after the little guy 10-15 yards away on the trampoline. He ended up taking a sting to the head just above the ear and spent the rest of the visit sitting in the truck. He doesn't hardly swell at all when he gets stung, but it hurts enough to give him a not quite so healthy fear of the bees.
