Wow!! That would make a fun day suck.... Never got hit with a bee, but I had a june bug about knock me out once...
Thanks to the damn june bugs - I don't go riding at night right now (man we've got a lot of those little freaks around here!!!)

I had a bee or a hornet hit my knee one day (thank god it hit head first!) - those things hurt like hell.

Here ya go, some info on June bugs

These things are freaking disgusting, they are attracted to light and beat themselves off the windows, they make the grossest crunching sound when you step on them and they get stuck in your hair. Gross, I hate these things.

I don't know, maybe you're just not 'special'!!! Just do a search on the gross things and you'll find info!
