This is a wildlife question. I was sitting in the garden minding my own buisiness, when a bee walked over my foot. That's ok I thought, your allergic to wasp stings. I sat perfectly still and for no reason got stung!! Why did the bee sting me?

I got stung a few years back too Great and that seemed to be for no reason at all,
Maybe it has something to do with Pheromones..........

How bizarre- puts paid to that theory which parents/teachers rely on when they shout 'don't move and you'll be fine' at panicking kids when a bee is near.

Bryony I know what you mean I always say this to children stand still and you'll be fine....not!

I prefere to run swifly away from bee or wasp contact!! I think I would make a 'free kick' movement if one walked over my foot.
