Bella is very afraid of things that fly. It doesn’t matter what it is. Bee, flies, butterflies, etc. She will tense up and cry. Well today a bee flew near her, she tensed up and it stung her in her ear. The poor thing is now hysterical when we go outside, covers her ears and refuses to walk. We have to carry her everywhere. Understandably so.
The stinger was stuck in her ear. I called her docs office and they told me to NOT pull it straight out but to scrape something over top of it, like a fingernail and it should come out that way. It did! Thankfully. Luckily she is not allergic (my husband is). But I am sure that had to hurt pretty bad.
Anyone else feel like there are more bees this year than ever? We couldn’t even eat outside on labor day because they were just swarming all over.
This post scares me. Seriously… I am not afraid of most insects, but for whatever reason, I am totally afraid of bees. I recognize their importance. I think they are beautiful. I like looking at them FROM AFAR as they tend to my garden. But, if they get remotely near me, I freak! I have never been stung and perhaps if I had been, I may not be so ridiculous. But, the thought of it freaks me out. I feel so sorry for Bella Boo!
