Q: Irrational Fear of Bees

I was just wondering if someone else has this problem. It is so embarassing. I can handle spiders, snakes, and any other creepy crawlies but i have a serious problem with bees and wasps. i've never been in a life threatening situation with them, although I was stung when I was younger by a bumble bee. I will completely go out of my way to avoid them in the summertime. Earlier this spring, a lone mud duaber made a nest in my front doorway on the outside and I couldn't even mess with it. I would go out the back door everyday and finally my mom came over and knocked the nest down. The most embarassing thing is the utter fear that overcomes me when a bee or wasp comes near, I feel a overwhelming need to run, even if i'm having a conversation with someone. i can' even enjoy going outside or near flowers in the summertime. I would love to lay out in my backyard for a tan this summer but as soon as I see a bee, i'm sprinting towards the back door. I was just wondering if anyone else can relate... Shocked

[this is not a life hampering situation for me, just a common annoyance, i do go outside...i'm just always aware Wink ]
