my worst bee/wasp story was a few years ago. I was doing some yard work and had stopped for a while trying to cool off as it was very warm. We had a car that had been sitting outside the garage for a while because a) it didn't run anymore and b) I couldn't drive. I opened the door to sit down and didn't realize that a nest of wasps were right in the doorway. When I sat down, I was immediately stung 5 or 6 times on the upper arm![]()

Talk about freaking out!! Luckily I'm not allergic to bees (knock wood at least not yet) but it was sore and itchy for some time.
This past weekend, I was test riding a Sweet Trek Pilot 1.2 flatbar road bike on the MONON and on my way back to the shop I had some sort of bee/wasp fly into the front of my jersey and promptly get stuck in my BRA![]()

OUCH!! It started stinging. Luckily I was able to control the bike as I urged the bee to get out of my shirt and bra. It only hurt for a while and strangely until yesterday afternoon, it hadn't even started to itch. I don't understand why all of a sudden NOW it's flared up red and itchy DAYS later??

It was kind of funny when I'd gotten back to the shop and I was telling Jimmy and another rider that I'd gotten stung but managed NOT to wreck the bike of course they asked where and when I told them Jimmy turned the same LAVA RED as the bike!![]()
