Would a bee sting you if you did this?

So say there was a bee on the ground (still alive), if you put your hand flat infront of it, would it walk onto your hand and sting you

Not if you are careful as bees always die when they sting. I am always rescuing bees from pavements and putting them onto a flower or somewhere else safe. Bumble bees that get wet and cannot fly so I bring them home, put them in a cup until they dry off then release them to fly off. Bees need protecting!

I think they know that they are not being threatened as I have been doing this for years and have never been stung yet. I have had some funny looks from people though!

Bees only sting if they feel they are in threat

No, bees only sting if you annoy them. In fact, when they do sting, they don't do it intentionally. When bees sting, they die.

Yes, if you are that stupid, bees do not sting unless they have to as they die afterwards,but if it felt threatened it would sting you.
