Cannot see in the dark - All bees cannot see in the dark, subsequently, should one be chased by a swarm, it would be beneficial to go into a dark garage, cave, or a dark wooded area; 5. Double the risk; 6. More than 15,000 cases per year; 7. Water Hemlock - All of these plants have a degree of toxicity, all parts of the water hemlock are poisonous. The root being the most lethal; 8. False - When a bee stings you, it quickly dies. The reason for this is that it disembowels itself leaving part of its intestine and venom sack attached.

Recent studies prove otherwise, whether scraping or pulling the stinger out, it does not increase the allergic reaction; 9. Heart attack - Due to many men and women unconditioned in venturing into the outdoors, heart attacks are by far the #1 killer.
