I have to ask now: Is this something you're supposed to do. I mean not moving when a bee sits on you? I understand that you shouldn't get all hectic and nervous. And obviously you shouldn't try to catch or smash the bee, but I never heard of not moving at all...
I think it's just a child being anxious. Bees don't really wanna sting people, they kill themselves in doing so. But people find them scary so I wouldn't be surprised to see someone standing still if one landed on them, hoping not to upset it.
But they're not really likely to land on you cause you're a bad place to land, and unless it's something territorial and/or you're seen as a threat to their nest they don't really wanna sting you either. (Not sure if there are any bees in that category but there are certainly wasps, which also don't die when they sting you)
Nah. I have bees land on me all the time. Moving doesn’t bother them at all, just don’t try to squish them. I was just recently skippering a boat in the Caribbean and I had a bee land on me to get out of the rain. It stuck to me for several miles in 20kt winds. I just did my thing, moving around, walking, whatever and it didn’t care at all.

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
