Worst bee incident that I know about with a single bee - one of our MT beekeepers had a bee go into his ear canal, got stung, but she stayed alive in there, running around, and buzzing.  He was 90 miles from Missoula, no medical in his rural community.  He had to have someone drive him to Missoula with the bee driving him crazy all the time.

my reply...
I am not certain it is the most painful but yes my vote would go for this as the most annoying place for a bee to sting you.  For those that have not enjoyed this little pleasure you quickly find out that after the bee stings you inside your ear canal (which to me doesn't really hurt that much) she then does the buzzing thing and almost always (both times that I can recall such an incident) she takes her mouth parts and begin grabbing on an tugging on the hair in your ear.  Very very annoying.  I don't think I could possible stand a 90 mile drive in that condition.

I really really dislike being stung around the eyes.
