yeah, being stung in the eye will do it to ya. You're better off not killing bees anyway. The more you kill, the more they swarm around you. Atleast that's true with hornets anyway. They give off a chemical, I think that warns its friends. I used to sell hotdogs at a stand in Boston Common and bees always were around me. One time I got fed up and rolled up a newspaper. I must have killed about 10 or fifteen until I had to get away from the cart and wait until they calmed down. They just kept coming back stronger and stronger.
