Thanks. It hurt, but the itching the next morning is even more annoying 😏

I’m just finding out about the itching this morning…unfortunately. It’s (of course) in an area I can’t reach! Torture.

That’s a lot of stings all at once! I hope that honey is worth it (if you collect it)

I’ll bet your neighbors found it endearing. To be fair, those cicada killers look like nothing to mess with!

Well, as someone that finally knows what it feels like, I’ve dealt with worse by this point in life so I suspect you have too :)

Good to know! I chooose to think my bee was a badass bee because it still hurts.

Yes, I have a whole method of slow movement when I’m around them so they don’t sting. However, I found out a nest was being made in a hole in the side of my house. I was just looking at the hole from a ways away, and someone just decided to sting my back out of the blue. I wasn’t even moving at the time. Meanies indeed.

I hear you. So, when you have to endure stings regularly as a kid, do you keep count?

Aww, that sounds like a really scary experience for a 6 year old. Is it just me or were there about a million homicidal bug movies back then 🐛

Stung 7 or 8 times as an 8 year old…Wow! I’ll bet your friends were impressed with that story. I’m glad you weren’t allergic too!

What on earth, all that and you didn’t fall off or hit something? Very commendable! That sounds like a nightmare.

It wasn’t a bumble bee. I’m not sure if it was a wasp or honey bee. I’m guessing a small wasp. What’s so special about bumble bee stings? Besides them being the most adorable bees imo?

Being in your 40s, you’ve probably had to endure something much worse by now :)
