A Bee Has Hives

The above title is not meant to be funny, even though it is! Imagine a Bee getting hives! Stinger was the lucky Bee to break out in hives the Sunday before Christmas.   

 
He continued getting them for four days after that.  Although they didn't seem to bother Stinger, they bothered me!  I tried to think of everything I fed him or what I had changed.  The only things I could come up with was I had started using a new bottle of Purex Free and Clear laundry detergent, and I saw him touch a poinsettia I had on the kitchen table that Sunday morning.  Are some people allergic to poinsettias?  Well since I didn't know, the plant went outside and I washed all his clothes in Arm & Hammer Free and Clear laundry detergent.  Those two things seemed to clear up the hives.  He has been hive free ever since.  Well it looks like "hive" solved the mystery at least for now.  If it happens again I will have to watch what I feed him.  Stinger will not be happy about that!
