[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is your concern?  When my kid was that age, she was scared of squirrels.  When she saw them and was scared, I gave her a hug and said, "Yes, squirrels are scary, look the squirrel is going up the tree.  Oh look, there's a puppy; shall we ask their human if we can say hi?"  Just provide comfort and distraction; not sure why it needs to be talked about when there aren't any bees around.[/quote]

We only talk about the bees when we’re looking at them but thanks for being so nasty for no reason. [/quote]

I'm so sorry, I wasn't actually trying to be nasty.  I thought you were talking about bees when they showed up in books/pointing them out in the back yard/etc based on your post.  Since you apparently don't, I'm not sure how calmly comforting your scared child could make things worse?  I don't really see a problem with a child being scared of bees tbh; bees can be dangerous (unlike squirrels which are pretty benign).  Anyway, sorry again for not tone checking my first response.[/quote]
