    A word of advice for the future to help you avoid this fate:

    I've never hit a bee with a lawn mower before. I rammed it into a tree with a wasps nest before though. I legged it, but they didn't come after me fortunately.

    Bee stings hurt quite a bit, especially if you get stung by mulitple bees at the same time.

    I once stepped on two bees with my bare foot. Ouch, that hurt!

    After reading this I have to sit flat-footed. Otherwise I feel like something's going to fly/crawl up and sting the bottom of my feet. My feet-bottoms feel so delicate now... xD

    I stepped on a Bumblebee once. The entire planet heard me yelling in pain for like 20 minutes.

    I once sat on a bee on a roller-coaster I'M NOT EVEN JOKING. I was like 7 on a school trip to Camelot theme park and I was on whirlwind which is very bumpy so I re-sat on it many times!

    I've only ever been stung once. I was sitting in a field minding my own business and one landed on my ankle and stung me. Fortunately my teacher had a first aid kit handy.

    Or maybe these bees should attend anger management classes.

    My father used to be a small-time apiarist so yeah I've had my fair share of stings. When I was half my current size, I asked dad to let me come look while he checked on one of the hives. He said to me "Yeah, but don't just come here and leave immediately again, that provokes the bees". So naturally I went there and very quickly realized that I didn't want to be there anymore, and backed away. I was stung in the forehead.

    My cousin and I were in a woods throwing rocks at a hornets' nest across a creek.

    I think we were lucky that one hornet flew near us. Who knows what would've happened if we'd knocked the nest down. We did break a large chunk from it though.

    We tripped over each other when we started to flee. xD

    I snorgle bees. Never been stung.

    Also notable: Ants apparently don't mind being sucked up a vacuum hose.

    A bee stung me in the back of the throat. Flew right into my mouth and didn't like it in there. I managed to spit the jerk out, but getting the stinger dislodged resulted in a lot of awfully disgusting retching noises.
