description for apiphobia
Fear of bees or bee stings is one of common fears among people. Apiphobia (from Latin ''apis'' for "honeybee") or melissophobia (from Greek ''melissa'' for "honeybee"), is an abnormal fear of bees and a kind of specific phobia. Most people have been stung by a bee or had friends or family members stung. A child may fall victim by treading on a bee while playing outside. The sting is quite painful and results in swelling which stays for several days, so the development of loathsome fear of bees is quite natural. Ordinary (non-phobic) fear of bees in adults is generally associated with lack of knowledge. The general public is not aware that bees attack in defense of their hive, or when accidentally squashed, and an occasional bee in a field presents no danger.
