If I had another hive, I'd come and get them. I'd hate to see them destroyed. If I can find anything I'll let you know. Things are crazy at the moment, of which I hope to explain when I'm up to it.

I'm better today, but the reaction was strange because I was just stung by a hornet in the face of all places just a couple of months ago, and had no reaction at all.

It immediately helped a little. About two hours later he was turning human again.
