My mom is the same way but she’s allergic to bee stings.
I don’t know if I am or not as they don’t sting me.
Oddly, they tend to follow me around the yard, with no ill intent.
I been stung a few times usually in autumn when the yellow jackets are drunk on the apples rotting on the ground, and it hurts like hell but I aint gonna run out in front of a truck LOL
