Gwyneth Paltrow Beauty Advice -- Bees Stings

Thanks for Voting on My "Copywriting Battle Book Part #1"

Dear Friend,

Yesterday I Heard Buzzing while Loading wood onto my Back Porch.

I looked around.

But Didn't see any bees.

Here in Maryland it has been Raining every other day for months. Not surprising the bees are Checking out my back Porch.

Nice and Dry.

Plus the Wood Pile is covered by a Tarp.

I Unloaded 1/2 of the Oak wood I split. Truck onto the Porch.

Then STOPPED. The constant Buzzing was Bothering Me.

I Stood still.

Listened.

Looked around.

And finally Spotted a Yellow Jacket.

The little Rascal had bored a hole in one of the logs I had used all winter to Weight Down the Tarp Covering my wood pile. Maybe he was asleep in there all winter.

Kinda Creepy.

I had been inches away from his STINGER All Winter long.

Dormant or deep sleep. The Bugger is Wide Awake Now!

I Carefully set that log out in the Grass.

I'll Bet Gwyneth Gets Stung a Lot less than I Do.

Because I get Stung a Lot.

And When Parts of Me Swells Up. They don't improve The look of MY Skin. Especially when you have multiple Bee Stings.

Why do I get Stung So Much?

BECAUSE I Am reluctant to kills Wasps and Yellow Jackets and Hornets and Bumble Bees. Because all our Honey Bees Here in Northern Maryland are dead. And all types of bees do some flower and Vegetable Polinating. I See them doing it.

The Problem is Farmers are still spraying "Roundup." You do not have to worry about weeds in your corn. Or Soybeans. Or oats. Or Hay.

But the Chemicals kill all sorts of insects.

Bumble Bee Nests in The Ground.

While scything Grass around the house you can't see a Bumble Bee Nest in the Ground. You Disturb their nest and OUCH you pay!

Bumble bees will hitch a ride on your Blue Jeans. And on your shirt.

Sting you while you run. Slapping at them madly -- in mid gallop. I have found their crushed bodies inside my undershirt -- Inside the house. When I strip off my shirt.

Yellow Jacket Nests Are More Prevalent.

Yellow Jackets Stingers are the Most Painful too. They gang up on you. Come at you like machine gun bullets. Except with stingers.

You really can't spot the Nests in the Ground, either. One second you are cutting briars and weeds with the scythe. The Next You Hear a LOUD BZZZZZ sound.

Too Late!

You Run. Yelling, "Sorry. Sorry."

But Apologizing Does not seem to help. They will follow you for 20 yards.

There IS one type of Bee I Like to PLAY with, though.

When I am watering Zuchini Squash in the garden I see two inch long Bees in the air.

They are like B1 Bombers.

Each is carrying an insect they killed.

They dig a Big Hole next to the plant you are watering regularly. Drag their dead Insect victim down the hole. And use the body to feed their larva -- Babies when they hatch.

These Bomber Bees Are Really Slow. Simply fly around me right where I stand. And Land. Then drag their prey in the hole.

They do not seem to Sting. Not ME anyway.

So We Get along Great.

Gwyneth Seems to Be Testing The Benefits of ONE STING AT A TIME on her Skin.

But I don't have that option.

My bee stings are out of my Control.

And the Bees I Bug -- Do not stop at one Jab. They keep jack hammering away. Injecting venom into my skin. Arms, Legs, Face, back of my neck. Got one down my sock once.

Stepped on a wasp in the house. He crawled off of a chunk of wood. Nailed me on the bottom of my left foot! Swelled up so badly I could hardly get my shoe on.

Kinda funny to think that something I RUN AWAY from. Gwyneth and her Skin Care Product Buyers are Running TOWARDS.

Thanks,

Glenn Osborn
