Brutuskend. You need to know your enemy. I almost died as a child from a sting, (allergic reaction) thought I was going to at the time, so I became a bee keeper. I'm an ape anyway. Now who will get that?

Anyway, bees, like
Azrael said won't ever sting unless protecting the hive or pressure is put on their bodies like from a slap, etc. I had one fly down my shirt too and just pulled my motorcycle to the curb, gently lifted my shirt and waited for it to fly out which it soon did.
thebestMax, I almost knew what you mean by a bumble bee at 70, but I ducked. I wasn't so fast with the banana slug my front wheel flipped up in my face. Lucky me, I had my mouth open or I'd of got it in the face.
Don't panic, stay calm, stop and let the bee out. Panic can get you killed.
