So I'm making tinner - tuna tomato pasta sauce - and a bee comes in through the open window. This is a bit distracting since it's buzzing around the kitchen, and it seems attracted to the ceiling light, so I turn the lights off in the hope it'll be attracted to the window. Once that's done, I lose sight of it and hope it's gone, so I turn the lights back on, and return to making dinner.
Uhoh, there's something black in the sauce, so I fish one bee out.
Then I start to wonder if it'll be safe to eat the food. So I google and can't find anything relevant, and the pasta's ready now. I have another look at the dead bee, and its sting appears to be missing, so probably floating in my dinner. I decide I'd rather not carry out an experiment in whether my throat swells up when I eat food containing a bee sting, so put some pesto on the pasta instead, along with the broccoli I was making to have on the side, and some cheese.
Wondering if I was being overly cautious. I've no known allergy to bee stings, though I have had reactions to insect bites with localised swelling and itching. Should I have just eaten it?
