Have you ever been stung by a bee?

[jiuchan]

I have never been stung by a bee before, but I hope I don't in the future. It sounds super painful!

Yes I have been stung by a bee and a wasp and I am allergic to them, I got a doctor to prescribed an EpiPen for emergencies.

Bee stings, anyone?  I remember going horseback riding and my horse got stung on its rump.  It wasn't happy and went up on its hind legs, thus tossing me to the ground.  I also got stung.  Not a fun day.

Ouch!!!!

I got stung once when I was younger.

I have never been stung by a bee. But, I have been bitten by ants and fleas. Fortunately, the fleas (my great-aunt wasn't taking care of her cats when I stayed there decades ago) went away instead of being a perpetual problem.

More than once, but the one that sticks out the most is when i was a child playing on the trampoline and a bee flew around me... I got scared and jumped way off the trampoline, got stung, and hit the ground hard.

I got stung by a bee coming out from washing clothes.  One somehow got caught in a blanket I was carrying, and all of a sudden I felt this sharp sting, and did my arm swell up and hurt for about 2 weeks.  That was terrible!

Yes I have both times I stepped on the bee by mistake it bite me. It hurt for a few minutes but I am not allergic to bee bites so it went away pretty quickly. but it did hurt.

Yes, just one time. I was out hiking with my parents as a kid and I got stung on my butt!! I don't remember if it really hurt or if I was just surprised. We were in the middle of nowhere so I guess good thing I wasn't allergic?

[march1971]

Yes, and it really hurts but I'm not allergic to them.

bumblebees don't lose their stinger, and any of the wasp family (wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets) don't lose their stinger. honeybees, when they sting an insect, don't lose their stinger, but when they sting a human or an animal, the stinger gets left behind. if you pull it out, you inject more venom into your system. the trick is to scrape the stinger off with a plastic card. I've fortunately not seen any Africanized killer bees or Japanese Giant Hornets here in Indiana. another thing, like I said before, if you kill any stinging insect near a hive or nest, it will release a distress signal

[dmahoney]

Yes, and it hurts like the dickens.

I was stung by a wasp once. I managed a clothing store and was opening a shipment when one came out of the box and stung my arm.
