Bees have never really bothered me, in my experience they tend to be fairly docile and don't often sting. Wasps on the other hand I absolutely hate...

Last year I was cutting down the tall grass and weeds that were growing around the lake at work with a big petrol brush-cutter and wham I stood on a wasps nest. I didn't realise until I looked down and saw tham crawling all over my legs. Then they started to sting... I was lucky I was wearing a thick jacket I only actually got stung eight times although one got behind my visor and got me close to my eye. Ever since then I've been extremely careful to say the least.
