Been there dont that

Heard a buzzing noise and was like...hello thats close. I peered down and it was on the cheek pad of my lid and despite a few head flicks wouldn't budge. Rather irrationally instead of stopping and disposing of it i bit it in half. Yes i am a weirdo but on the bright side i didnt get stung.

N.B. I in no way endorse this bee relocation solution, i am merely highlighting my own stupidity.

I roared off on my DAS lesson with visor open and had to stop practically immediately as a bee hit my eyeball. No kidding, white of my eye. Dunno where it went, but the impact alone made me stop and weep like a child for 2 minutes haha

Never had a bee in my helmet but I did spend an afternoon at work with a wasp crawling round between my t-shirt and my overalls...didn't get stung tho thankfully!

Not a wasp or bee but I was riding along in a 30mph limit a while back, and a fly got into the cutout for your ears. Bloody hell it made a racket buzzing in my ear that close!!

In terms of wasp/human interfaces the only time I can remember off the top of my head was about 7 years ago at a summer (desk) job. Felt something on top of my head (thought it was just my hair moving about), reached up to move the bit of hair that I thought was the problem, and BAM! Think I got revenge later cos I killed it on the window sill
