well, that's one way to get a kid to be afraid of bees.
Poor kid. hope she never got stung? doesn't sound like she did.
In elementary school, our gym got infested by bees or wasps (don't remember exactly) and they were everywhere. We still were forced to do sports class in there. I got stung twice and then ran outside, bawling my eyes out. I'm now in my 30s and have a severe phobia of bees, wasps and hornets. Bumblebees are fine though for some reason.
Bumblebees don't sting. They just kinda bounce around. They also aren't laser focused like wasps and some bees. They do bite though, so don't let them land on you.
They can sting, they just mostly choose not to.
