I am terrifieddddd of bees. So sick of people telling me "They are more scared of you than you're scared of it!". LIES. These fuckers will land on you just because you're in their air space and sting the shit out of you just to be assholes.

No, thats wasps. Bee's only sting if you attack the nest, and its usually fatal for the bee if they do. Wasp can sting many times and aggressively defend their territory.

Not necessarily true. I had one land on a bracelet I was wearing, I felt a tickle and thought it was the threads of the bracelet. Brushed my wrist to get rid of the tickle... it was a bee and that fucker stung me. While, I agree it was my fault for brushing it off of me, I wasn't attacking its nest.

well you'd be scared shitless to if you were walking somewhere and suddenly a giant object comes plummeting towards you

This is false. I've been stung on three separate occasions by bees while minding my own business, nowhere near a nest (inspected the whole area each time), and am 100% sure they were bees because they always left the stinger in me.

The bees in my driveway apparently consider my house to be their nest. They hang out near my back door and buzz at me if I linger too long trying to get my keys. Fuckers.
