Have you ever been stung by a bee?

[tea4me]

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 don't really remember being stung but sometimes I end up with a bee in my hair or hanging out near me.

I can usually wait until they move on so they're not at all threatened by me.

Yes I have been stung before and pulling out the stinger is the worse.

[Delphyne]

Oh goodness, yes!

I am also allergic to bees, wasps, and red imported fire ants.  But, oddly, I love bees, and try to get macro photo shots of them when I can.

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

I have, it was a long time ago, when I was a kid, I got stung in my thumb and on a second occasion in my lip. The second time wasn't too bad, I got a bigger lip, and a little numbness, but wasn't as noticeable, and you could hardly tell; it could have been a honey bee. The one on my thumb, however, was pretty bad. I'm guessing it might have been a hornet or yellow jacket, because my thumb grew almost double in size, and was pounding like it was gonna explode, and the exact location where the sting entered my skin, was hurting kinda bad. The stinger was still attached to my thumb, until I pull it out, lol.

I do landscaping as a side job and last year alone I was stung at least 10 times.  All 10 were by yellow jackets, they are quite ornery.  I've uncovered a few yellow jackets and wasps this spring hiding out under ground and thankfully it's been to cold for them to fly.

I was nine years old and got stung on the bottom of my foot I was barefoot and I was told by my mom to always keep shoes on my feet so when I got stung I was afraid to tell her so I stayed in the kitchen and my foot get getting bigger and bigger (swollen) so I had to tell her so she called an ambulance and they said if I would of waited 5 more minutes I would have died well needless to say I am allergic to bees need to take benadryl and go straight to the hospital if I get stung my tongue swelled up and red blotches came upon my stomach I told my mom I had flip flops on and the bee went in between my foot and the flip flop and it was on the 4th of July I will never forget it.

Yes I have been strung by a bee.  It is not a pleasant experience.  I remember one time when I was a small child I got strung and my grandmother put snuff on it.  She said that snuff would take out the string.

  Bee stings are not good for sure.  I haven't been stung since I was a kid.  My dad and a bunch of family were out in the woods having a fish fry and my dad climbed a tree and stole the bee hive (had the equipment) but I ended up stepping on a bee and it stung the bottom of my foot.  No I can't explain why I was in the wood barefoot (too darn long ago) but I was lol.

[Nancy5]

Yes, I walked on one and got stung on the bottom of my foot.  Talk about pain!

[waltonmae]

Yes i have been stung by a bee!

[itstrezze143]

Never in my life time I have ever been stung by a bee. And hopefully, I won't ever get stung by a bee.
I've only been bitten by a fire ant, and they itch and hurt like butt.

I was stung by a bee as a boy, and let me tell you it really did hurt!

When I was about 6 years old I got stung in the upper lip by bumble bees so bad that my lip swelled up so much that it was touching the tip of my nose. I've been stung many other times in my life but I think that was the worst. I'm not allergic to bee stings.
