bee - javajoe's picture of the day for 9/4/08
by javajoePublished Sep. 4, 2008
Today's picture? Just a bee (EDIT: Not really. It's a bumblebee moth). Do you remember the first time you were stung by a bee, wasp, hornet, or other flying insect? Have you ever found youself in the middle of a swarm of bees? Or maybe your backporch has been taken-over by honeybees or wasps one summer. Whatever your case, share your stories and comments!
UPDATE! Ashen-Shugar pointed out that the picture isn't of a bee -- it's really a moth. A Bumblebee Moth!

I was sitting against a wall in the school yard. The 8:50 bell rang so I stood up to go to the school hall for a morning assembly. As soon as I was completely upright, I felt an intense sting on the inside of my left calf. I went into the toilets and dropped my trousers only to discover the tail end of a bee stuck in my skin.
I went to see the school doctor (a risky maneuver at any time, more so given the location of my wound). Consequently, I missed our music teacher playing Stairway To Heaven on the piano. I was gutted. Earlier at 8:00am that morning as I was heading out of the door at home, I had heard the news come on the radio that John Bonham had be found dead the day before.
These two seemingly unrelated events combine to a powerful memory of the death of someone I greatly admired for his musical prowess and the pain of my first sting.
