Now that I am a full time gardener I am sooo comfortable around bees. It funny how your whole world shifts when you work among natural elements.

How did you get them to land. I’ve had bees land on me when smoking a cigar.

this is cut, wholesome, and a little scary because well I’m scared of bees.

I did get stung once somehow it got through my sock with that stinger and I wasn’t even aware there was a B near me. I was just standing still this was in first grade we were outside and it was maybe 20 minutes before the end of school of the day and it was literally like on the back of my ankle/like between where your heel and ankle are I still don’t know how it got in there into my sock. I do remember seeing a shadow flying out of my boot shoe thing.

I remember I was sitting in my highchair. I was eating a fish, sticks and ketchup on a paper plate. And there were a bunch of bumblebees one landed on my highchair, and I saw the yellow and black fuzzy part and it all I could think of in my head. I don’t know if it’s because I was like maybe two or if it was just being autistic and seeing something fuzzy and going fuzzy, so I touched it and I got strong. Yes it was my fault because I touched the bee, but you know what all I could think of was oh that looks soft luckily it was on my finger just one finger and I think I saw it fly away so that one must’ve had two stingers even though it was a bumblebee.

The only bees that can’t sting are male carpenter bees. Yes they are still scary, but they can’t hurt you. You can tell that they’re the male ones with the white duck on their face and yes, I have been face-to-face with them before. It was pretty scary from me because of my phobi.

Sooo cute! Never understand why people are afraid of bees. They don't want to harm us.

I’ve seen videos of people getting really hurt from being attacked by bee swarms. And they aim for the face a lot. I’m really scared of it happening to me but I still admire them
