OUCH! Never had a bee in my helmet but when the Chicago area had the 17 year cicadas a couple of years ago, I had one of them fly into my helmet. At least they don't sting, although they are large, ugly and was very loud. I put on quite a show as I attempted to stop and get my helmet off extremely fast.
Got stung right in the quad about half way through an 11 mile run last weekend. Hurt like a MF and to make it worse, it was RIGHT on my shorts hem line, so my shorts rubbed it with every stride!
Last summer while riding my mtn bike, I got stung by a bee. Two weeks after, got a dragonfly stuck in my helmet. Thinking about getting an aero helmet just for that reason. Nevermind the aerodynamic benefits.
5 or 6 weeks a go I'm huffing at TT speed, mouth wide open, when a bee flies right in my mouth. Spit the sucker out and she flew right off. Color me lucky. How nasty would a bee-stung tongue be?
I got stung be a bee when I was bike commuting in February. It was still dark out as I was riding across our company's campus and then I felt a sharp sting in the side of my neck! I was able to pull the stinger out but that sucker hurt all day long!

I got a bug in my shorts last weekend on my long ride. It bit me once on the left side and I shook out the leg on my shorts and figured I was fine. Then I went to get on my bike and it bit me on the right side. Needless to say - the bike got dropped and I'm on the side of the road with my shorts around my knees trying to find it. *sigh*
ouch! i got stung on my chest this past tuesday morning on the bike. i had my jersey halfway open cause i was soo hot and i felt a bug go in the stinngg!!! ouch haha. first bee sting on the bike!
I don't know if it was a bee, but I got stung by something on the back of my throat on one ride. That was rather unkind. I guess you are supposed to chomp them with your teeth to avoid getting stung, but he just flew straight in and bam. I am glad I am not allergic.
Just today, coming down a hill at 39 MPH and my jersy unzipped I felt something hit my chest. I thought, "I hope that wasn't a bee". A second later it got me.
I wanted so bad to smack the stupid thing, but at that speed it may have resulted in a crash.
