  1. Bees

    Share Share Post
    It is considered lucky to have a swarm of bees come to anyone as they are said to bring the luck with them.
    The sting of a bee is good for rheumatism. When a bee sheds his sting he dies.
    A raw onion rubbed to a sting deadens the pain and prevents swelling.
    Blue for clothes is also good for a sting.
