When you see a bumble bee or yellow jacket in your yard, do you automatically assume that it is going to sting you?

Oh I am the biggest wuss in the world when it comes to bees. I've probably scared my daughter to death trying to dodge bees lol. I don't care what kind of bee they are I don't want to take any chances of them stinging me or my daughter.

No! I think it's funny when people see a bee and start running around and swatting at it. Just because it's around you, doesn't mean it wants you for a snack. lol

No, not always because I remain calm and I don't let the bee go near me. I don't want him to sting me. The best way to avoid him stinging me is not to scare him or do anything that will come near me.

Honestly, that is the best advice to keep from being stung. Originally I asked the question because we have hornets and bumblebees in our area, and I am always worried what I should do if one of them approaches me. Thanks for the advice.

No but I'm pretty cautious with my girl. Don't want to find out she's allergic the hard way. I did have a friend that worked for the FDA at a bee hive. Pretty interesting stuff.

What an interesting job! I have never heard of someone working that job before. Must add that one to my google search list.

I have been stung once by a bumble bee, it hurt a lot, and the second bite causes severe reaction, so I have to be very careful now, to avoid a second bite. So you can understand if I run when I see a bumble bee now.

I have that feeling and the moment I see a bumble bee I will run for my life but actual fact they are harmless if unprovoke.
