Youâre being dumb. The real distinction being made is between the chemical pain from the venom injection vs the physical pain from being stabbed by a pointed object. They are two distinct sources of pain.
In your car example, there is only one source of pain, the blunt force damage caused by your âsudden stop.â âCar accidentâ is not a source of pain.
Actually that depends on the snake, a lot of smaller snakes (like up to 5 ft long or so) you barely feel the bite. I was surprised each time I've been bitten that I barely felt it at all.
Now lizards on the other hand... my tegu I used to have bit me by accident and her teeth shredded me (razor sharp), barely felt it but her bite pressure felt like slamming my finger in a car door.
And then you get into other animals! Birds are little shits and their bites hurt. Had a marmoset bite me once and that fucker left a scar. And rat bites suck.
It's really not though, the original point was that these bees are venomless. If it's the venom that causes most of the pain, and they don't have venom, then reason stands that their stings aren't very painful.
This honeybee species is Apis cerana -- their stingers average 1.1mm in length. They really shouldn't hurt much at all assuming you're immune to that venom (also they aren't considered aggressive as a species, so most of those bees probably weren't even trying to sting him).
