Run them under the cold tap and you won't get the smell. I've discovered that this doesn't really work with TCS because the 'chef' gets annoyed for some reason.
It also prevents the dark ring forming around the yolk. Something to do with sulphide compounds. Drain the pan when your egg is as boiled as you want it, and fill with cold water (from the tap is cold enough). Within a few seconds, the pan is cool enough to hold your hand against the bottom. Empty the water, refill, and leave until the egg is cold.
...well, I just don't care... If the bees can just fly of willy-nilly without by-your-leave and leave me without the pleasure of their mellifluous tones as they bumbling around, I don't want them back...I say pah to bees. Their mother was a hamster and their father smelt (smelled, smolt...?) of elderberries....
It does get entertaining when two or more topics become intertwined. All chat about bees then somebody says run them under cold water to stop the smell. I've not sniffed a bee so don't know if they pong.
I have a red jasmine by the back door and a few comfrey plants which are full of bees and I took my life in my hands trying to top up their water dish so I'm with you steveTu, they are a bit ungrateful! (but so lovely)

Ah! Thank you @B3 because I have heard this expression "bored of" a lot lately. Watching ITV's This Morning some weeks ago - I thought I had missed something. Good. I'm sticking with the old "bored with". TG!!

Never realised there was any difference. Now I'm thinking about it, I can't remember what I say! Reminds me of a pastor I know who says: "It's good to get tired IN God's work, but not OF it." I'm rarely bored. I agree with the man in one of my childhood books, who told his children's friend: "Only stupid people get bored. A lively mind will always find something to interest itself in."
I'm getting bored with watering. Â Note: 'with' not ' of'. I've never been bored of anything in my life.
Oh, I definitely agree. And itâs plain âoutsideâ not âoutside ofâ. By contrast I cannot bring myself to say âget ridâ. Itâs âget rid of itâ.

Bees may be ignoring travel restrictions, but they probably think all the hotels are still closed.
Years ago a new family in the village asked what activities I arranged for my children in the school
holidays? Â
My face mustâve been a picture ... âI donât arrange anything for them. They just play ...â
 I said, âIf they donât get bored theyâll never learn to amuse themselves.â Â
