The only time I've been stung by a bee is when I was little and walking outside bare foot and stepped on one. I've been stung by wasps for things like being outside or being inside when a wasp got in the house.

I've gotten stung by a dying wasp who crawled to my mousepad and I unknowingly placed my hand on it. Fuck those assholes

Ha, the 1st time I was "stung" by a bee as a kid, I was sitting poolside and smashed my hand onto one.

I get stung all the time. I mean not every year but maybe every other, but I work outside. If wasps nests are so sacrosanct and important, why do some species leave them laying on the ground?

Fuck Ground wasps. All stinging wasps are like mean drunks when it gets hot outside. Obviously there are thousands of other species, few of which sting.
