Terrified of Bees & Gardening

We are closing on a house next month...everytime I see a bee I run like heck...

My FH is worried that I won't be able to participate in gardening/exterior grooming.

I'm kind of worried too..I've had this fear since I was little and still have not overcome it.

I can rely on him to mow the lawn...but as far as asthetics go...I don't know how involved I will be able to be.

Is there a month that you can plant where there are little insects out?

thanks.

I have the same fear but its been amazing so far...I have "grown up" alot and am able to garden and love it.....of coure, i still get the occasional lap around the yard courtesy of a flying buzzing sometrhing, but not as much as I once did!

Re: Terrified of Bees & Gardening

I have been doing all the gardening at our house and bees have not been a problem... Spiders, now that I would be more worried about. I got bit by one last week on my leg. The same day there was a spider running up my other leg. Today I had one on my hand. Just make sure you buy gloves to garden with!
