Today, I saw a wasp on the ground, apparently injured and unable to fly. It was being mobbed by ants and looked certain to die, so I stamped on the ants to save its life. At this point it sprung up, stung me, then flew off. FML

Today, I pulled a bee off of my friend's dog because we were worried he could be allergic. Of course I got stung, and of course the dog wasn't allergic. Turns out I am. FML

Another pro-shoe argument
Today, I accidentally stepped on a dead bee. The stinger was still intact. How do I know? It stung my foot. I'm allergic to bees. FML

Today, a bee landed on my leg. I didn't realize it was there until my friend yelled out, "Bee!" kicked me in the leg, and ran off. I fell to the ground screaming and clutching my leg. She missed the bee and it still stung me. FML

Today, I shot a paintball gun at a bees' nest. The bees flew through my neighbors' windows and, for lack of a better word, slaughtered them. An ambulance was called, and I feel like a total dick. FML

Bee plot
Today, I started my job as an assistant to a beekeeper. I forgot to put gloves on, and got stung like crazy. My hands swelled up to the size of baseball gloves. Turns out, I'm allergic to bees. FML

Today, I learned that I'm allergic to hornets. I also learned that when your mom sprays a hornets' nest, and they come after you, that jumping in the pool doesn't help. They hover and wait for you to surface. FML

Today, I had food poisoning. When I was finally able to drag myself to the kitchen for some Gatorade, I got stung by a wasp. FML

Today, my friend bet everyone at my lunch table that no one could catch the fly that was flying around our table. I reached up and caught it. It was a wasp, and it stung me. FML

Maybe OP isn't an expert in bee varieties and accidentally mis-classified her little bee buddy.

Honey bees will use their sting if provoked; they have a sting for this reason. Being manhandled would certainly count as provocation to an insect. We did the research for you on this.

you might have saved it from drowning but you can't save it after it stung you :-P

Did you rescue it with your hand? How did you possibly expect to not be stung?
alpaquette91 9
16, one; A honey bee will only sting if roughly handled, an even still very rare. Two; they will also sting if the nest was attacked, that wasn't the case. Third OP; honey Bees don't die after they sting because human skin is not thick enough to dislodge it's stinger. So back to number 8's post, you are right, it probably wasn't a honey bee.

maybe it was a suicidal bee, who wanted a creative death....which you interfered in. So as a result to your interference, it was pissed, and it stung you. Managing to both get revenge, and die....?

48 no it's the study of insects 52 it is but won't be when I finish, because I'll be working with animals, hopefully in australia or new zealand, but I needed this degree first :/

Study insects= work with animals? Treat bug bites or something? I am concerned

This bee was living a real life edition of Final Destination. If only she could have overcome her nature of stinging she may have survived... until death came up with something else.

MrSassypants 33
Well they do commit suicide when they sting, i was turned it into a homicide by me before. It tried to sting me but then I caught it, got a hold of it's stinger, and pulled it out.

My boyfriend catches bees so he can put them down my shirt >.> lol I don't see how he does it. But he also can tell which sting and which don't. I don't know that, either, but luckily I haven't been stung yet.
