Of course, here in Texas just about every party is an outdoor barbeque, and of course, the bees seem attracted to those.
That's because we make the best barbecue there is. ;-) Well, that and all the sweet smells of sugary drinks that inevitably get opened and left sitting out.
The way you and Frink are with bees, I'm that way with snakes. I go out of my way to avoid them. I have some land in the pineywoods north of Houston and I'm never without my snake boots - even though I've never seen a snake out there.
Like Frink mentioned though, if you're allergic, that's a very good reason to stay clear.
