Bees Can Change Your Social Status

I think one of the most frustrating things about bugs is that bees can sting you. I really just do not enjoy bees at all, and the fact that they have the ability to sting people is so annoying. I do have some really great and horrifying memories as a kid playing in my yard though. I remember we would make a game out of it with the neighborhood kids. It was almost like a freeze tag kind of game, except more dangerous because you could actually be stung by a bee. If any of us saw a bee we would immediately say FREEZE ITS A BEE, and we would all stand extremely still and not make a sound. It was funny because I remember the positions we were stuck in seemed really hilarious to me as a kid. The fact that we wouldn't move because of one flying insect seems ridiculous, but I was not about to be the kid that gets stung by the bee! I was stung by so many as a child, and I can remember many occasions. One day I was playing on my swing set in my yard with a bunch of kids. We were all racing for the swings, so without hesitation I ran as fast as I could to the nearest swing and hopped on. Little did I know, there was a bee sitting right on the seat. It was summertime, so I was in by bathing suit because we had been running through the sprinklers earlier that day. That stupid bee stung me so bad on my butt, and I remember how embarrassed I was to this day. I screamed and held on to my right butt cheek, and ran as fast as I could to find my mom in my house. All the kids were laughing about the situation. Now that I look back on this funny instance I laugh, but holy cow I hate bees. They made me feel like I was the least cool kid on the planet that day. I know that they do some good for our environment, but for my social status they really did some damaging back in the day!

Here is a beautiful picture of a honey bee just to brighten up everyones day after reading my mean story about the fact that I do not like bees!
