My most painful sting was in the nose. I had just stepped out of my truck
and a bee flew into me hitting me in the lip and crawled right up my nose.
It got up about as far as it could go very fast and stung me in the left
nostril. My eye ran, my nose ran and my mouth ran cuss words I didn't even
know I knew. It hurt! It also was not easy getting the bee it out of there,
I don't think they walk backwards, I could not find the stinger. My nose is
not that big I am amazed the bee could get that far in.

Last week I opened a hive to put on some food and a bee flew straight up my
nostril, it stung before it got to far up and it hurt but not like the
first one, I could get the stinger out. Luckily I do not swell from stings
or my nose would had been out of commission for a while. The sting that was
way up the nose gave me very clear sinuses for days.
