This happened to my ex while we were driving on the highway.A bee flew down the front of her blouse (and she’s scared of bees), and she’s driving ( at about 80 miles an hour ).
She whipped off an exit ramp, came to a screeching halt ( she was doing the screeching ), lept out of the car and began stripping off her top and simultaneously shaking her amply filled bra.
You have to know three things at this point. First, this is rush hour, so there’s a large audience. Second she was menopausal at the time, Third I have no clue as to what’s happening because I can’t decipher her screams.
Eventually, the poor stunned bee falls out, and some semblance of calm is restored. No one was injured ( although I had a couple of very uncertain moments ) or stung and we resumed our journey with me only going bzzzzzz under my breath, once !
Living next door to a bee keeper, and in the woods, we had critters of all kinds in our clothes, hair, vehicles, whatever., we would just shake then off, out, or dodge them,,except for the snakes. I can make the top of a pickup cab in a single leap, or at least I could 35 years ago !!! And with my head under my arm. The kids had a great laugh at that one great fear of mine. I still do not like snakes !!!!
read a story in local paper about how a woman driver has a fairly large snake appear almost in her lap as she was driving on I-10 here in Texas. She slammed to a stop on the side of the freeway and leaped out of her car. Lucky for her a cop came up and got the snake out of the car, she apparently, was totally hysterical by then. Lucky she didn’t crash her car, wasn’t it
I was starting a job about 500 mi away and my motorcycle wouldn’t start, so I had to use my truck. I remember coming around a curve and hitting a swarm of bees. I am allergic to them, if I was on my motorcycle, I don’t know if I could have gotten to a hospital before the shock hit.
He has looked out for me all my life, especially when I did stupid things.

I don’t blame her. I’m terrified of those things.
