Bees ignore you if you hold perfectly still for a moment.
Well they do in my experience![]()

Heh, this reminds me of a couple of weeks ago: I was mowing the lawn, and a wasp flew up my pantleg, and stung me four times. I don't know what would have happened had I not made it into the house screaming obscenities I didn't even know I knew, taking my pants off as fast as I could (no one was home but me) and started looking for what was making my leg hurt so bad (I didn't know what was going on at the time). A few moments later, I heard buzzing on the window, and there the little smurfer was. I tried smashing it, but it was incredibly hard for a wasp. I ended up making it so he couldn't fly by hurting its wings, I grabbed it with a pair of tweezers and lit the little bastard on fire.
It stung me once on the ankle, twice on my knee, and once on my thigh. I don't want to know where it would have gone had I not gotten out of those pants sooner. >_<
Never been stung.
*touches wood after hearing horror stories*
Bees are cute and okay, but wasps, uuurgh I hate the little buggers. If it's a very big one, I'll open the windows and shut it in the room and stay out of there for about an hour >.< rinse and repeat until it goes awaaaaaay
I can spend hours trying to kill mosquitoes if I hear one in my room. (I know, they don't sting, but...) Hate them!
When I was 8 I me and my neighbors were boating in the lake that's right next to us and I got stung in the ankle by a wasp. I haven't been stung since and my friends get like freaking seizures when they see a bee or a wasp. It kills me not to laugh at the top of my lungs watching them jump around like apes. I just stand there and nothing happens.

Bees do cute things all day, and they decorate cute clothes and stationery.![]()
One time I was throwing rocks about in my back yard when I saw a wasps' nest on the fence. Naturally, I threw some rocks at it to try and knock it down, but instead I got attacked by a swarm of wasps. I got stung on my face a couple of times on my lips and a couple of times inside my mouth.
Wasps don't taste very nice, but it was ok 'cause mum gave me an iceblock afterwards.![]()
Did you know ants won't cross cinnamon?
Like, make a circle of cinnamon around some ants if they get in your house, it's fun to watch.
I'm very sensitive to birds (What!?)
I'm very sensitive to trees (Them falling on you?)
I'm very sensitive to all these things
But I'm especially sensitive to bees
I've never been stung by a bee before, but I've come close, and I have weird little nightmares about it!
They don't like it when you break their beehive, either.
Many years ago, people from the electric company accidentally dropped off a beehive that was on an electric post nearby my home.
The bees sent two workers to the intensive care wing and sieged the people of four blocks for two days, including our local police station.
I tried to get off the house on the second day and within steps I got stung five times.
Although it was fun to sing doom music when seeing unknowing people walk by on the street and immediately take off screaming, this experience has left me deadly scared of bees and wasps.
How large was the nest?
Did they have to fog the neighborhood? Was the electric company responsible legally?
Well, this is South America we are talking about, so, no, the company didn't do anything about it, the police is who managed to get people to come get the bees and we the neighbours paid for the bill.
Yes, they were fogged late, at nightfall of the second day, the beehive had broken up into several smaller groups and they had taken residence in several points on those blocks, one of those points was actually under a shrub right in front of my bedroom window (you can't imagine the racket the bees made the first night) and they were kept alive when possible and taken somewhere else.
Oh, and I don't know how large the beehive was, I don't even know where it was exactly, must have been in one of the inside streets.
