Answers:
What your going through is a normal phobia of bees and wasps!. Going through a similar position, try facing your fear!. Its hard to do and even though its easier said then done, you need to just face the fact that bees and wasps are hurtful but 100x smaller than you!. You show them that they can't hurt you and find a way to ignore them mentally!. Some fears become so extreme, that people can't even go out of their houses because their so afraid!. So Before that ever happens, tell yourself that bees and wasps don't matter and don't let it get to you!. Give it a try!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think in the long term you are going to need a form of phobia treatment called systematic de-sensitisation where you are gradually exposed to the focus of your fear until you overcome it!. Or in the case of wasps I would say at least feel the fear at a manageable level, like most other people!
However, this will need your GP to refer you to a psychologist which will take time!.
The best I can suggest is to buy some insect repellent, and some sting relief cream!. It won't cure the phobia, but you may feel a bit more in control if you have some sort of weapons against them!. And always have a can of wasp spray in your house so you can zap the little b*rstards if they dare to try and invade your property!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't worry about bees as generally they will not sting you or chase you - one sting and they are dead!. Wasps on the other hand are nasty pieces of work!. I am absolutely petrified of wasps and completely lose it when they are around and I am 20 years older than you! Try not to flap your arms around when one is near and hopefully, they will go away and leave you alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your fear is understandable I am afraid of bees too!. What I do is try to remove myself from the situation if possibe!.
If not try to keep my cool!. Bees generally do not sting unless they are provoked if you stay calm ang don't give them reason to sting you they should leave you alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
