Don’t mess with the bees

If you have fallen victim to a bee sting, you might want to read this.

Bees rate right up there with things you don't want to see coming after you. But did you know there are some steps you can take to avoid them. Rather than becoming that crazy dancer trying to avoid them. We have all been there.

Wikihow.com has a list of 3 easy ways to avoid getting stung by bees. They say wasps are included in it to, but wasps are mean no matter what you do.

Step 1--Take care of what you wear--

Simple enough right, you should do that anyways. But you can avoid them simply by your choice of clothes. Bright colors attract bees (and a rouge hummingbird to).

Avoid using scented soap or shampoo. It might to nice to smell like a flower, but what are bees attracted to. FLOWERS!!!

Step 2--Time your events properly--

Bees tend to be out during the warm times of the day, so a picnic in the park could turn into a dash for the car waving your arms in the air.

Step 3--Don't wave your arms around all crazy like--

If a bee or wasp lands on you, the worst thing to do it wave your arms around or try to smash it. Remember bees have a stinger, hence the article. Just stay calm if they are around. That saying they are more scared of you and you are of it is true. Your big, and they are small.

Wikihow also recommends not running. Tough to do when one is coming after you. But running means your arms and hands are waving. They might see it as a threat and sting you. Just calmly walk away. Normally they will leave.

If you find a hive or nest, leave it alone. From a personal experience if you disturb their nest, they all come over you. They look neat yes, but remember what is in them. If you want honey, head to the store.

Wikihow.com does have a few more tips on how to avoid being the next victim of a bee sting. And summer means they are going to be out again. So remember them the next time you venture outside. They aren't there to turn you into a marathon sprinter. They are there to make sure the flowers stay looking good.
