Re: Bees
We had some super-aggressive bees set up by our garden last year. They built their nest in a railroad tie that was being used as a wall for the tomato bed. I didn't even know they were there until I mowed too close and they went ballistic. Got a really fantastic sting right on my temple—hurt so bad I wasn't sure it was even a bee. I'd never had a sting hurt like that in my life.
Unfortunately I didn't know about legal flamethrowers last summer, so poison did the trick.
Re: Bees
I had a similar problem once. Unfortunately the "Painted Turtle Farm" staff (sustainable garden run by students here at Gettysburg) forgot that there was a yellowjacket nest in one of their beds and asked me to turn it over. I got stung between four to five times, once on my right hand. That bugger really swelled up for several days.Originally Posted by Lemur

Re: Bees
Bees are cool. I've been stung quite a few times in the past, so I don't really fear them now. Actually, at one point 2 months before, one of those little guys flew inside my room and sat on my jeans. I grabbed a handkerchief, made it climb on it and gave it a drop of honey. The little bugger was licking it like crazyAfter a while, it flew away from the same window.

Re: Bees
BEES DIE ALL EXTERMINATE THEM DONT CARE ABOUT HONEY, THEY ARE EVIL AND DESERVE TO DIE HORRIBLE DEATHS! DO IT NOW!
*ahem* I am Apiphobic and a staunch defender of the extinction of bees, wasps and anything remotely related to those things. Though I have never been stung, thank all the gods of the Olympus for that.
If all bees were joined together in a remote place, and a nuke was to be sent to exterminate them, I would volunteer to push the button. :D
