I have been dealing with this for several weeks now ! As I look outside of my patio window there is a honey bee who keeps flying to the window and peering in. So I bought bee insecticide and placed it on my living room table waiting to spray the "H" out of him because I'm afraid to go out to the patio for fear of being stung. I think he sees the can on the table (blinds are open) and he knows I have to open the patio door which gives him time to fly away at least out of the range of the spray. Everytime I open the patio door he takes off far enough so when I spray he doesn't get hit. So after trying to spray him again and again, I sit down on the sofa which faces the patio window and he comes back and hovers at the window looking in at me and I swear he's laughing !!  One day I will get that sucker !!

Are you allergic? Otherwise, I'd say that if you don't bother the bee the bee won't bother you. I haven't been stung by anything since I was a toddler because I stay very calm around bees and wasps etc.

 

I don't kill bees. We need bees (except for the carpenter bee couple that keeps trying to destroy my porch support posts). I just stay still when one comes around me and they leave me alone.

@Goodie2shoes    Maybe he just wants to be friends?  Live and let live.  Have you considered taking up a hobby?

I'd try to get rid of it if you are allergic - I blow up like a balloon when I get stung....I avoid them at all costs.

Try to avoid them, but PLEASE do NOT hurt them.

Bee stings can cause a lot of problems.My friends husband spent several days in the hospital after getting one a few years ago.JMO but if I have a choice between me or the bee the bee doesn't have a chance.
