I got stung on the back of my tongue while riding my bike as a kid. Been stung many times since, sometimes with swelling, sometimes not.
Stung twice on my thigh at the same time one day, later on that ride while descending a bee hit my glasses and broke apart and part of it went into my eye.
Riding a loaded touring bike with a cliff to my right and a gravel truck a few inches to my left I felt that burn and looked down to see a bee stinging my arm but I couldn't even reach over to flick it away until the damn truck was passed.

A couple weeks ago I was in the yard with my cat and a bee flew near him. He reached up and grabbed the bee with his claws and it stung him. He hopped away shaking his paw which later swelled up to almost twice it's size.
