I am the same way with bees.. Pretty much if it flies and stings I have an alergy to it in some degree... I usually am ok with not going to the doctor's, unless they get me in the head, and that is where they like to get me the most.. Yellow jackets on the other hand, while I don't swell seem to put my body into shock.. I didnt enjoy learning that one.
I tend to just respect their space as well. Though I think it is funny how many gardeners are actually allergic to their garden "friends". My sister is planning to start her own bee hive in Louisiana.. I think I will be avoiding visiting as much lol. Though they are interested in hydroponics after I get my systems down to a science. They have about 6 households of family in the area and all would benifit from a good supply of produce year round.
