After many years of no stings on the bike, got stung by a bee 30 miles into a 50 mile club ride couple of months ago. Out in the country moving along at 16 mph, suddenly felt sting on front of my ankle. Looked down and saw a suicidal honeybee, stuck where he stung me. Got over onto the shoulder and stopped and removed the bee with a piece of roadside plastic trash and then got my multi tool out and removed the stinger with needle nose pliers. Back on the road and continued the ride but alert for signs of anaphylaxis. Just some local swelling and discomfort which lasted a week. Glad it didn't land on my face or fly up my shorts....................
