no thankfully, the last time I rode and got hit by bees, one got caught in side my jersey and stung me in a most unfortunate and outward protruding point of the mammary system.
couldn't stand to wear a bra for weeks afterwards.

OUCH! My whole body curled into a ball when I read that Marni. I had a bee fly into my helmet but was able to pull over and get it out.

Not bees, thankfully, but more assorted bugs flying in my mouth and the mouth of riders with me! UGH! But at least not painful .

This is why I spent far too much for an Uvex helmet - it has a bug guard for the vents in the front half of the helmet.

and todays ride featured me as human fly paper as thousands and thousands of gnats stuck to my sweaty, sunscreened body as I rode. I did a preliminary scrape off out in the garage when I got home, but there were still enough that I was afraid that they might block the drain of the shower. Ah well, not stinging or biting.

That's another reason I wear a Buff under my helmet. Originally Posted by Catrin

was stung while riding right next to my eye. I always carry an aspirin while riding, it is great to keep the swelling down. You moisten the aspirin and put it on the stingy spot. Yes, this year I have ridden thru swarms of bees, I just put my head down and keep my mouth closed. When I ride out of it I check for owies.
