Yeah, I've been stung on right around the rim of my shoes a couple of times because a bee has landed there while I'm in the hive and then I lean forward or take a step and it starts to squish the bee. I usually don't swell at all when I'm stung, but if I'm stung on my ankle or feet then my feet swell like crazy. Poor circulation I guess!Too funny Deb B
Most people are afraid of bees only because the haven't learned much about them. And because they have been attacked by wasps and equate them with bees.
It really takes a lot of mistakes in a row to get stung.
The Italian and Russian bee are pretty laid back. I only got hit because I was squishing that bee in my jacket. She was in there for quite a while before I freaked her out enough for her to sting me.
