January 18, 2007: Bee attack! - Page 2

I thought we called it maize?

Given the look of the Do Not Enter sign, and the use of the word "hawkers" and proper pluralization of "passersby," I conclude that this did not take place anywhere in the U.S. Is there the same problem with Africanized bees elsewhere in the world?

Singapore.

Used to live there. I've been to that hawker center a number of times at Zion & Orchard Roads across from (what is now) Great World City (used to be... Centrepoint? Or right next to it? Anyway.)

However, I cannot claim to know much about Singaporean bee behaviour.

(Edit: Arrgh. River Valley Rd., not Orchard Rd. Been a while.)

Wonder if she was wearing, as is stereotypical, WAY TOO MUCH of that floral old-lady perfume...

Trilby · 01-18-2007, 02:25 PM

some things we can assume based upon her pic--she is NO slave to fashion and, judging by her shoes, she's a hippie.

She may very well be diabetic. Check the legs.

She looks so calm to me.
Why is that?

This picture terrified me into posting a response. That's a first. It could just be 'cause I'm insanely allergic to insects. If I had been this little old lady I would have been dead.

My favorite shrink tells me, everytime he sees "beestings" listed as an allergy on a chart, that everyone is allergic to beestings, it's just a matter of degree.

They were headed straight through her nose to her neocortix - nevermind - thats another thread. Although thats how some perfumes smell.

ashke · 01-18-2007, 06:40 PM

Yikes, bees in Singapore? Hope I never meet any of those buggers...

Welcome to the cellar OpalWater.

And a second to Shawnee's welcome of Lisau.

I've had a reaction to Hornets a couple of times, but I should think that many stings would make anyone pretty puffy.
