Man I just got the weirdest bee sting about an hour ago.
I was putting on one of my shoes when I felt a prickly feeling on my big toe. I thought this was just some sort of sharp plant life but when I took my foot out, to my surprise I saw a bee attached to my foot. I was pretty freaked out so I shook my foot and the bee flew off and disappeared somewhere. At this point I realized how much pain I was in thanks to the perpetrator in yellow and black. I checked to make sure there wasn't a stinger in my foot, and then I found the bee again and smashed him with a shoe with great fury. My mind was happy but my toe was not.
I've got ice on it now to stop the swelling but it still hurts a whole lot. Anyone else got some bee sting stories to share?

Where do you live that bees are still around...and in your shoes?
|
I was visiting my grandmother in Washington, but I have no idea how it got inside my shoe as it was inside the house and it's Winter time right now.

I got stung by a yellowjacket at a resteraunt when I was a kid, It flew down the back of my shirt and got stuck in there and trapped and scared so it kept stinging the shit out of me.... It was horrible = (
When I was older me and my friend would practice martial arts and gymnastics out in the soft grass in the summertime and got stung tens of times in the bottoms of our feet by bees, but we won the war, we killed thousands over the summers

I got stung by a bee 4 times.
One time in the ear.
The other time on my neck.
But the most interesting time was when I got a bee sting on my hand just before halloween. My hand swelled up a lot and my parents got so paranoid that they took me to the hospital and I missed halloween. My hand was so freaken huge and my friends asked me if I was playing bloody knuckles again.
Moral of the story: don't scratch ur bee sting or it will swell up and make sure you put baking soda on it to disinfect the poison

Been stung by a wasp before, was playing cricket put a cricket glove on (was about to bat) and I felt a sharp sensation so I took it off and low and behold a wasp flew out -.-.
Suprsingly it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would but it made my arm feel funny for a while xD.

One time i was out walking around in the forest with my friends and a bee flew up right in my face so i decided just not to move in hopes it would go away, it landed right under my eye and stung me there. I guess I was frozen in terror not to move at all, but from now on i beat the shit out of any bees that come near me
|
got one right smack middle in my forehead
you know how you get pimples on your forehead? and they hurt like hell?
right, imagine a fucking bee sting there
|
I got stung multiple times by a Wasp while I was sitting on the toilet just doing my thing. Fucker landed on the back of my neck and went to town.
I killed his ass once I finally got him off my neck.

Bee stings aren't that bad. Once when I was mowing the lawn I got stung by three bees within 5 minutes D:
That really takes the specialness out of beeing stung.

stepped on a yellow jacket nest when i was little, not fun. i got like 15+ stings. my dad had a yellow jacket in his drink one time too, got stung right on the tongue.
|
I've never been stung so I'm afraid to. I'm nearly 20. Is there any way of knowing if I'm deathly allergic before being stung?
|
Put on a sweater, felt a huge sting on my arm. Then heard buzzing noises, I spazzed out and screamed like a little girl while taking off my sweater. Managed to crush the bee when it probably got dazed after I flung it or something.

When i was little this huge bumblebee landed on my shoulder and sat there for like 2 minutes until my friend pointed it out. It sat there for like 5 more minutes and then it decided to sting me and die on my shoulder. Now scared as fuck of flying insects.
Also:
Have you guys ever tried to kill a wasp or bee but they just refused to die?
An example of this would be the giant black wasp. It doesn't die very easily. I had to cut its head off for it to finally die.

I worked on a bee farm for 2 summers now. We fill each others lunch boxes with bees for fun, among other things. Stings aint no thing now, barely swell up. Once you get stung so many times you realise that the pain doesn't really get passed a certain point, and it subsides in 2-3 minutes.
Edit: If you guys have questions I can answer to the best of my knowledge.

I once threw a heavy hiking boot at a giant spider in thailand, hit it dead on, and it just bounced off and the spider kept going.
Even those little spiders around the place can be hard to kill.
Never had trouble with those fragile bees and wasps though!

Depends from person to person. Some days you get none, those days are pretty rare though, for me anyways. On average probably somewhere around 2 a day while im working. 10 in a day isn't too uncommon, I've seen guys get 20+, I've never got that many though. I dunno what you are doing to get them to sting you that much.
@ Legatus - No, the bees we would mess around with like that are the ones hanging around the windows in the extraction building. They are destined for death since they are trapped inside and most likely too far from home to make it back to their hive. We have to vacuum them once or twice a day normally.

I was once standing on the loading dock at work and saw a couple bees flying around. I thought that was odd because I had never seen any around there before. Then, I noticed 4 or 5, then 6 or 7. Then, the sky got a little darker. I was like, hooooly crap, and sprinted inside the store. About 15 minutes later, several hundred bees all alighted on a single branch on a tree next to the dock. They made almost a perfect ball, larger than a basketball.
What the heck did I witness, jimminy?
Also, to add to stings stories. When I was a kid, I had a bumble bee slam straight into my head and get stuck in my hair. The thing ended up stinging me in my head and DANG did it hurt. I was skittish as crap when I heard buzzing for a while
