I have been stung by a bee twice in my life... once led to a a swollen foot the size of a ski boot when I was a little kid (I had stepped on it by accident). The other time, was just a few years ago while I was eating lunch inside of a restaurant... yes, I got stung while indoors, what are the odds!. While out to lunch on a patio last week, Roger captured this amazing close-up photo of this cute waspy little guy... not sure how he got so up close and personal without being kissed by the stinger. Luckily I was in the washroom, while all this was happening... so third sting averted.

Bee stings hurt so bad! Way worse than a wasp sting!
Cool photo!
Thanks for posting on my Sunday Blog Blast thread!

What a great capture!
(And your blog is so cute!)
It's interesting how those bugs can look so scary and fascinating at the same time. I like to watch 'em hovering around our bushes. Bee's look a little nicer though.
Cool pic! Not crazy about bees myself - unless I turn them into a hair clip (a felt one anyway!).
I feel ya on weird bee stings. I have only been stung once and it was on my tongue. I was on 6th grade and was eating an atomic fireball(remember those?) and it flew right in my mouth. Yikes!
Wow, what an awesome close up!! I am so scared of bees & wasps, I could have never gotten that close!
What an amazing picture.
That is a wonderful shot. :)
Wow!Great shot in the glass!
Oooh. I was stung as a young'n once or twice . . . no fun at all. How can something so sweet looking hurt so bad?
The bee's sure are out and about. Sadly, we've not seen too many honey bee's in our neck of the woods...but have enjoyed the bumble bees. Kudos to your hubby on a nice close up shot!
Cool photo! Glad you avoided a sting too. xoxo
Yeah, it's a cute little waspy until it stings ya! I too have been stung twice. Once at the park I fell and my hand landed squarely onto a bee. Such luck. The other time...shoot I can't remember the circumstances but it got me in that delicate region between the thumb and index finger ouch! Bees and other stingy things are so cute at a safe distance e.g. an animated likeness, a puppet, on a far off flowery bush, Roger's photo :)
Bugs are so beautiful and alien. I'm not into waspy hornety things either, but I've had a ton of dragonflies and moths this year. And a few too many spiders for my taste! Great pic.
Amazing photo!!!
Great photo!
I've been stung by a bee once, my first year in college, before that I was so proud to never have been stung. :)
