Greetings All:

I was twisting at a street fair yesterday when I noticed a large number of
bees swarming around me, especially around my balloon apron.  I was near a
lot of folage and I assume that the bees mistook the brightly colored
balloons (I had a lot of Prestige) for flowers.

The only way I was able to disperse the bees was to remove my apron and
cover it up, just taking out a balloon as needed.

No one was hurt, save for one of my sculptures that was stung and sent into
eternity, but a lot of little kids were panicked.

It was just so strange, I wondered if anyone else ever have anything like
this happen to them before or any ideas on preventing it (I am going back
there today).
