I decided that the cardonna sage and cat mint were finished with first blooms, and I know they'll bloom again if cut back. So, I'm merrily cutting, not paying much attention to the buzzing around me - there are lots of other flowers and bees. Suddenly, a bee comes straight towards me, and barrel rolls to avoid my hand gently trying to encourage it to go elsewhere. Well, this bee came back, avoided my hand again, and scored a direct hit and sting right between the eyes. I backed up, and now have my hat ready to defend myself, but I'm outmanuevered again, this time a sting right on the tip of my nose. Ok, Run!....
