Sting update!

So last weekend I was able to be in 9 of my new nucs! On 4 occasions a bee thought I was being too friendly! I had a bit of swelling from a sting on the bottom of my nec, and my finger got a little sore but the other two stings really did not swell at all!! I am hoping to be stung enough that I do not react much to the venom but I would rather not be stung in the face and have to go to work looking deformed!
Here is a quick view inside of my my new hives. Here you can see how the foundationless frames from kelleybees.com have been working out. Sorry about the audio, I grabbed the camera by the mic :/
