Have You Ever Petted a Bee?
« on: May 06, 2018, 01:36:07 am »
If so, how did it react? I don't like to touch black and yellow insects because getting stung by them hurts!

 I would never even consider petting A bee.  I would be as far away as possible or standing as still as I could if A Bee  I was in the area.  :rainbow: :wave:  :peace:

I have never petted a bee.  I have caught bumble bees in a jar when I was a kid.  I have also gotten stung by them and YES that does hurt.  I got stung on the bridge of my nose between my eyes.  I swelled up pretty good.

I have never petted a Bee. I was stung by them plenty of times as a child. I surely do not want to pet them at all. :)

Why would I want to pet a bee?  I have got stung several times and like everyone else said, yes it hurts.

No, I don't want a bee anywhere around me. I definitely wouldn't touch it.

NO!  I did run over one's home with a lawn mower.  He and his tribe of friends got really angry and viciously attacked me.

I wouldn't even consider petting a bee, I'd be too afraid of getting stung.

No, never attempted to pet one.......I have had them buzzing around me when I wear a color that they are attracted to.  Once I had a big bumble bee (or so I thought) buzzing around me while I was reading a book outside...it turned out to be a humming bird .LOL!     :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

I touched one once, accidentally.  I said "sorry,"  and the bee just flew away.

Yes. He was wounded and I touched him. Very fuzzy.  I happen to like bees and we seem to coexist in the garden without anyone getting hurt.
