Bee in my helmet!!!! AAHHH!!!!!!

Be careful!

Hehehe....be (bee) careful.

I had this very same thing happen to me last month. I thought a bee had gotten into my helmet but wasn't sure so I just kept riding. Then I thought I felt it crawling around. I stopped and took off my helmet and tried to brush it off with my hand. It stung me on my pinkie finger. Ouch!

I don't think this can be prevent unless you ride so slowly that the bees can avoid you....but who wants to do that?!?

Fortunately the bee flew away quickly without stinging me. However, after I tried to get going again, it divebombed me again, and by this time I was super paranoid and pulled over again to make sure it wasn't in my hair. I think I need to change to a fragrance-free sunscreen.

Any jersey colors that don't attract bees?

That sting in the corner of the eye sounds really painful!

Totally freaked me out when that happened - and I haven't ridden w/out a skullcap since. I have many in summer or winter weight. I refuse to allow bugs to get caught in my hair under the helmet.
