I had a good sized bee smack me on the arm this week. He hung on for a short time while I was wildly shaking my arm, but he did fly away without stinging me. But, the bug problem that I have had recently has been with love bugs. When they are swarming, it is very difficult to keep them out of my mouth when I am breathing hard through my mouth. I now understand why love bugs have no natural enemies. They taste terrible!
