Take that, bees!

I've been stung twice and it was less annoying that a mosquito bite. In 20 minutes there was no evidence I'd been stung. I don't get the bee paranoia.

It's like any phobia - just a natural (unnatural) fear of what might be. Also, many people are highly allergic to bees.

Also, in case anybody was curious (okay, probably only me), the fear of bees is known as Apiphobia.

Once while playing baseball in the park with my dad and two of my brothers, I hit a long foul ball into a group of trees. My brother, Paul, had sprinted over to the trees in an attempt to catch the ball. The next thing we know, Paul is hauling ass away from the trees and running towards us. Then we see it....the biggest, angriest swarm of bees you could imagine.

(That fly ball, it was a one in a million shot, Doc!)

Then my dad, always thinking one step ahead, yells, "Don't run towards us, dumbass!"

Emergancy bill for 136 bee stings: $345

I must know the end to this story! Was Paul able to escape the bees?

Yes, do tell!

As I recall, Paul ran around the park until the bees tired of chasing him and returned to the remains of their hive. No stings.

Aww, I was hoping for a spectacular dive into a park lake or something.
