I used to belive that once you were stung by a bee, you could never get stung again, kinda like getting chicken pox. I misinterpretted what my mom told me though: when you were stung by a bee, THAT bee can't sting you again. In fact, the first time I did get stung I was happy because I believed it could never happen again
