I swallowed a bee. Not on purpose. I was out boking and singing along to my current favorite album (the last best concert I went to) and, well, my relationship with bees requires some explaining.

When I was a kid, bees liked to land on my glasses, then climb around to the inside. In between the glass and my eyeball. Have you ever tasted your bravery? Courage? Just whether you could stand really fucking still? Bees like my eye juices okay.

So a bee came at me. Went in my mouth while I was singing on my bike ride. If you can’t sing while you’re exercising, you’re working too hard. I may or may not have been part of a roving band of violent minstrels when I was younger. That’s beside the point. The damn bee I can still feel it on my uvula. Aaaaaa

    if you can’t sing while working out

    Then you just found your pace. You should be able to hold a conversation, not sing.

      disagreed, but i’m a vocalist. i should be able to sing. normal people should be able to hold a conversation.

      also, this is advice i got from a high school running coach who took all of his teams to state and won every year, so are you sure?

        I think we’re probably talking about the same threshold rather and disagreeing about semantics

        Maybe your coach was teaching just able to sing and what I have trained is just barely unable to sing

        if you’re special you’re special though, as you said you’re a vocalist who throats bees 🤷

    I’ve had bees clock me at high-speed in the forehead while biking, which sucks (for me and the bee I expect) – but swallowing one whole? Wow.

    If you feel guilty, as penance go hand-pollinate a few flowers each morning for the next few days. There’s work to be done! :)

      i was only doing 15, so not that high speed. maybe. the headwind is usually 20mph on that stretch of road. i’m wearing a full helmet from now on.

      Aww thank you. I just wanted to get my emotions out. Also I swear it didn’t die and it’s crawling around in my sinuses and I’m going to be hallucinating that all next year. Hell help me if a beard hair curls up there

    I’ve taken bees in the mouth when I’ve been out on my dual sport. That can be painful at 60kph.

      The worst part is last summer I bought a bunch of bright colored balaclavas to protect from sunburn. Bees? Who needs bee protection

          Maybe. It would have prevented it going into my mouth and me swallowing it, and possibly it setting up a little nest in my sinuses. The bee chose to be eaten. I did not choose to eat it. It was like, antivegan. I don’t know the right word.

    You’ve confirmed my fear as I’m walking or biking with my mouth open while talking or taking a bite of something. No longer an irrational fear, it seems.
