Hello;
 
I have had phobias about bees and wasps for the majority
of my life. These phobias have caused me to resort to
indoor activities during the months when these insects
are most prevalent. Although desensitization therapy has
begun to reverse my fear of bees and wasps, I have a
long way to go before feeling comfortable outdoors.
Educating myself about how people without these phobias
cope would help me to understand what to expect when in
an environment where these critters are present.
 
I am looking for recommendations on reading or visual
materials, particularly about wasps, whereby I might see
examples of people interacting with these insects in
different environments.
 
Confirmation on the names of the phobias connected with
bees and wasps would also be appreciated.
 
    bees          apiphobia or melissophobia
    Stings        cnidophobia
    Wasps         spheksophobia
 
Thanks ... Dave Stolzenbach
