When one of my English setters was a baby, she snapped a
bee and was stung on the roof of her mouth. I was home
alone at the time and saw it happen. She started screaming
and pawing her face, but she would NOT let me help her.
She fought me so hard, I had to rush off to our vet.
Luckily, after several of us wrestled her to the table and
got the stinger out, she only needed some Benedryl to put
her right. But she was very sore for a few days and her
face blew up to twice its size... poor kid! Oh yeah. That
experience didn't stop her from eating bees, but she never
got stung again. I guess she figured out how to dispatch
them before they could "get" her.  <shrugs>
