Getting stung sucks. I've been stung twice by wasps both times on my right ear, and like 8 years apart. Kinda weird.
" Mmm, well I can tell you from personal experience that yellow jackets (which do suck) aren't as bad as Jellyfish stings. Man...I couldn't look at the ocean the same for months after that happened. "Crap, i cant even imagine dude. Ive heard some really bad horror stories about jellyfish stings
Yellowjackets are wasps. Either way, those fuckers send me running! Similar story to ArchScabby, as a kid a bee flew in my ear, stung me and died. So now anything buzzing makes me nervous.
If you ran over it's nest you probably would've got stung more than once, it was probably just lost and drunk, are there any fruit trees in your garden, or any rotten fruit nearby? We have an apple tree in the back garden and every damned year if we dont pick them up off the ground every morning they begin to rot and the wasps get drunk, it's horrible. They sting you for no reason when drunk, normally they'll check you out and leave unless you have food on you, or you freak out.

When i get back out there I'll check for nests. I remember the last time i got stung was definately because of someone in my party stepping on a nest and i got stung twice. that was over a decade ago though. there isn't any fruit nearby, just trees and leafy bushes.
It's not the sting that bothers me, it's the inflammation/itching/rash that I get for a week after a sting.
Not all of them, only honey bee workers. Honey bee drones don't have stingers at all (the big fluffy ones) and most other species can apparently sting repeadetly.
Wasps also can sting repeatedly (although Yellowjackets also have barbs, they are not as pronounced as honey bee workers, so only sometimes they will die)
The barbs on their stingers are for fighting other insects, tears the brittle exoskeletons apart, whereas the elasticity in our skin gets stuck on the barbs, and rips it out. Which debunks the common belief that bees only sting as a last resort, they dont know they are going to die :)
Oh but your pun is still funny....
When you get stung by a bee it leaves a scent on you that only other bee's can sense and makes them attracted to you. I heard it can last for a few weeks so stay away from bees till then.

Lazlow Killer Bees
Lazlow: "Hello caller, you are on the air. Are you sane!?! Eh-heh...are you a sane caller?!?"
Caller: "Absolutely Lazlow. Killer bees!"
Lazlow: "K..killer bees!?"
Caller: "Yes, killer bees! Did you know that the current migration north continues, we will all be dead in 3 years?!? Do you want to become a bee's supper?!? I don't! That's why we must act now!!! Killer bees must be stopped!"
Lazlow: "I wonder why more people aren't talking about this, I mean, killer bees swarming, and it sounds pretty serious!"
Caller: "Aah...but the killer bees are nothing compared to ants! You can't kill them! They are like sheep, they are going to take over!!"
Lazlow: "Alright, thanks caller."
" Mmm, well I can tell you from personal experience that yellow jackets (which do suck) aren't as bad as Jellyfish stings. Man...I couldn't look at the ocean the same for months after that happened. "I haven't been to a beach in 7 years because of a jellyfish sting.
Oh what a glorious thing to be,
A healthy grown up busy busy bee,
Whiling away
The passing hours
Pinching all the pollen
From the cauliflow'rs.
I'd like to be a busy little bee,
Being just as busy as a bee can be,
Flying round the garden
Brightest ever seen,
Taking back the honey
To the dear old queen.
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,
Bz if you like but don't sting me.
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,
Bz if you like but don't sting me.
Oh what a glorious thing to be,
A healthy grown up busy busy bee,
Toying with the tulips,
Tasting ev'ry type,
Building up the honeycomb
That looks like tripe.
I'd like to be a busy little bee,
Being just as busy as a bee can be,
Flying all around
In the wild hedgerows,
Stinging all the cows
Upon the parson's nose.
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,
Bz if you like but don't sting me.
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,
Bz if you like but don't sting me.
Oh what a glorious thing to be,
A healthy grown up busy busy bee,
Visiting the picnics,
Quite a little tease,
Raising little lumps
Upon the maidens' knees.
I'd like to be a busy little bee
Being just as busy as a bee can be,
Flirting with the butterfly
Strong upon the wing.
Whoopee! O death
Where is thy sting?

Oh what a glorious thing to be,
A healthy grown up busy busy bee,
To be a good bee
One must contrive,
For bees in a beehive
Must behive.
But maybe I wouldn't be a bee,
Bees are all right when alive, you see,
But when bees die
You really should see 'em,
Pinned on a card
In a dirty museum.
Bz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,
Bz if you like but don't sting me.

Why would you punch bees in the face? Without bees, you'll never see any great flower tits.
I got attacked by bees when I was 13. I was dragging some branches to a spot for my dad, when I accedantly ran over a yellow jackets nest. There were a bunch of them from what I remember, and some hornets also joined into that madness I had caused. I didn't go outside for MONTHS after that day, I was to terrified to even go outside and get the mail. I have never been on friendly terms with them since then, and I still flinch almost everytime I see a flying insect zoom by me almost 11 years later.

Not sure if this is true. Could be though I guess.
I do know that killer bees secrete a pheromone when they die, which other killer bees from the same nest can smell, they then swarm the area en masse.
Ants do a similar thing, if you squish an ant, it sends out a smell which other ants keep away from by a short distance because they don't want to die.
That was my experience too, until a random motherfuckin yellow jacket came out of nowhere and clinched on to my throat for 7 seconds and then I had to pull it off, and I was just standing still admiring my goats.In my experience, if you dont do anything to them, they wont do anything to you."
Yep. I was stung 4 times on my way out to get the mail the other day by some yellow jackets.
Damn things.

Yellow Jackets aren't that painful though. The problem is, they get pissed off pretty easily and swarm more.
My dog keeps trying to eat wasps/beets etc, he comes in from the garden looking like he's just been punched in the mouth.

Yeah, damn.
I just hope that other movie was wrong, and bees can't get in through a cars air vents.
Although scarily that one sounds kinda logical.
