Having a bumble bee land in your lap while driving sucks....

But bashing yourself in the crotch with your cell phone trying to kill it sucks worse.

Just FYI.

And how it would leave once it realized there was no pollen to be had...

 

From my experience, the big black fuzzy bumblebees aren't that stingy - it's the smaller, shiny striped yellow and black ones that are sting-happy. Ech, I hate getting stung.

Nope. Luckily (for me) I think it smacked the side mirror and bounced in. When he hit the mirror he stunned himself pretty good an wasn't in full functioning. Still scared the hell out of me seeing a bumble bee the size of a quarter land in my lap. I managed to sweep him onto the floor where a size 12 shoe promptly ended his short bumble bee life.

Getting hit by one on your forehead at 70 or so on a motorcycle isnt too pleasant either.

Doh!

One of my uncles got hit by a bird while on his bike. Cracked the glass in his helmet and damn near made him dump the bike. Good thing he had a helmet. That would have left a mark otherwise.

I had one go down my shirt as I was riding my motorcycle, it woke up about three miles later, I immediately pulled off the side of the road and started striping my clothes off. It must have been quite humorous to all the motorist passing by.
I think i got stung three or four times.

Not as bad as a friend I knew. We were at a tennis tournament and we were resting under some trees (it was his birthday as well) and he looked up and yawned and a bird crapped in his mouth. (Not a joke btw).
