    On a strangely normal note i too hate bees, though not as much as people who are allergic to them i'm sure!

    Note that the article I linked talks about unlikely things that are legal in the U.S.A. (such as flamethrowers). I doubt any of it applies to the United Kingdom, where over-sharp scissors and mean looks are outlawed under anti-social rules. I hear that hip-checking your buddy into a hedge can result in a life sentence over there.

    Killerbees and some hornets are a different story, but when you ignore bees and the like they will ignore you. Last time a wasp stung me was 20 years ago when I tried to launch it with the nail of my indexfinger when it crawled my left arm: boy do they have reflexes.

    Now they can crawl whereever they want. It will probably be scary when you are allergic for their poison, but it's still a better tactic than to panic when one comes near.

    I know I did that once with a bee Tosa, but sadly, it stung me a second before I wack him off.

    I live in suburbia near Chicago and we have two beehives in our back yard. We've had them long enough so that we can harvest the honey and sell it/use it. It's pretty cool. I'm super comfortable around honeybees now. The only time I was close to getting stung was after I helped extract the honey from the honeycomb. You can mow the lawn an inch away from the entrance of their hive and they won't bother you.

    Bumblebees give me the ***** though, been stung a ridiculous amount of times by those lil' *******

    Are you serious? Here in Bavaria they don´t bother at all. Just your regular juggernauts not caring too much about humans. Hornets and wasps are a different story ...

    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.

    Heh, truthfully...I work in forest preserves over the summer and when clearing out invasive species I have this terrible habit of unearthing bumblebee hives. It's frustrating. :(
