I’m surprised by it. How would a bee get under her eyelid? have to happen when somehow she didn’t see it or notice it happening. Not once but 4 times.

He was never quite sure about good modern art or about the flies Orr saw in Appleby's eyes. He had Orr's word to take for the flies in Appleby's eyes.

'Oh, they're there, all right,' Orr had assured him about the flies in Appleby's eyes after Yossarian's fist fight with Appleby in the officers' club, 'although he probably doesn't even know it. That's why he can't see things as they really are.'

'How come he doesn't know it?' inquired Yossarian. 'Because he's got flies in his eyes,' Orr explained with exaggerated patience. 'How can he see he's got flies in his eyes if he's got flies in his eyes?'

Catch-22

Maybe just blink right when the bee is landing on or near the eye. Most of the time the bee will be blinked away - but every once in a while it will be caught.

You are using way too much logic for this thread :)

Agreed: Four bees don’t want to be lodged in your eye socket any more than you do.

Shenanigans. Torture or “traditional medicine” quackery was afoot, IMO.

I had a gnat fly into my eye once and it got stuck between my lower lid and my eyeball. Took some minutes of tearing up and making sure it didn’t slide any further down before I was able to flush it out.

I can see one sweat bee getting in that way. Four? Incredible!

Motorcycle, no eye protection. Just a guess.
