Bee’s Knees

by ryan on October 11th, 2005

Today, when walking to my car, I was stung by a bee.

I’m almost 30 and I’ve never been stung by a bee before.

It hurts. And it caused me to say a lot of profanities. I even turned into Angry Vegan and said, “Damn it, I’ll show you! I’ll eat your honey!”

  1. I could see doing that too :) It really hurts. Also, bees can kill my husband. Then I’ll reach for the agave nectar.

    You pose an interesting concept. How many of us would be vegan/vegetarian if the animals routinely attacked us? Would we care about the animals quite as much if we had traumatic experiences on a routine basis?

  3. Yeah…I like bees, but not a really big fan of wasps. Was it a bee or wasp that stung you?

  4. Definitely a bee.

    luckily most animals seem like pretty chill creatures who aren’t interested in traumatizing us humans!

    I consider myself vegan, and I eat honey because I hate freakin’ bees.

    That sucks…I got stung by a bee while doing a good clip mountain biking once. It surprised me so much I crashed into a tree.

    That’s my karma for eating honey, so I can’t complain.
