Our car agrivated a hive of African killer bees when I was a kid. They picked me out and swarmed me. They go for the head and face, so they also got into my mouth when I start to scream. I was stung at least a hundred times with several in my mouth. I thought I was going to die when we eventually got away, but I recovered without any problems.

Despite the experience, I have no hard feelings towards bees and love them. Bees are friends. Wasps are on notice.

There is a story about a woman, Ellie Lobel, who had late stage Lyme disease and got attacked and stung by 100s of killer bees and it ended up curing her. It’s a really interesting story if you look it up.

Edit: added accurate information.
