BEES DON'T LIKE CAFFEINATED PEOPLE?

Some bee reading has led me to a new piece of information that I hadn't heard before. I've been stung a couple times by our little ladies (yes through my suit), but apparently bees don't like a caffeinated person.  I'm not sure if I buy into this or not - my husband is a coffee junkie & so far he hasn't had any stings. But for the curious - here's some stories.
