NOT for the bug-squeamish

Getting a bee caught in your hair such that it crawls on your scalp? WEIRD
Getting it out without getting stung? WIN

Who said dropping off kids at camp was boring?

Excellent. Very cool.
I don't like bees or wasps, but getting rid of them without getting stung is awesome.

Man, here I was picturing stuff about spiders. Spiders make me squeamish. Bee-like things make me cautious.
Good job, though.

only time that ever happened to me I definitely got stung.
Bee stings on the scalp SUCK!

Yeah I guessed that would be the case; with luck I'll never find out empirically.

I can't believe you were able to get it out without freaking! Argghhh, but good on you.

I freaked a little, but the freaking-out part of my brain was immediately overruled by the "If it stings you that is going to SUCK" part of my brain. So I kept the freak a minimum.

Maybe one day, after many years of dealing with bees, I'll get over the "a bee is on my body...FREAK OUT!!" thing.

Maybe. One day.

Until then, wow, is it a hard thing to not freak out, kudos to you for saving both yourself from a nasty sting and a little lady from an untimely death.

One of my most intense memories from my teen years was one day during lunch break at school (we had 2 hrs for lunch, it being Europe and all). I went to the store to purchase smoked bacon (?? I don't know why) and ate it down by the waterfront. Suddenly I felt something tickling my thumb, and looked down to see a wasp crawling around on my finger. Ick! But, being quite allergic to these things, I didn't budge, and whaddya know, the damned bug *bit* my finger! Not bite-as-in-sting, but bite-as-in-take-hella-chomp-(or-try-to). So. Wild! Then it flew off...

That is pretty odd.

On the other hand, I completely understand the desire to bite you...
