Been stung by wasps several times and it hurts!
Never by a bee - however, I've got bees nesting above my front door and they're causing problems for visitors and also means my front lawn is looking like a building site with the long grass
Anyway, spoken to local beeman who says he can't reach thye nest so it looks like I'm going to have to get a bee killer in as my wife is a childminder so lots of young children around and neighbour also has children and bees are only a few feet from his boundary
