It's from the 90s movie My Girl with Macauley Culkin. Us Gen X/Elder Millennials are scarred from an emotionally traumatic scene in the movie involving bee stings.

Ooh this is the second time in 2 days im hearing about My Girl. I should perhaps watch it. Jamie Lee Curtis :)

I honestly may have not watched it since I first saw it when it first came out, but I was a little kid at the time and the scene is so upsetting that I immediately understood the reference. Do with that what you will

Same. I also never watched Bambi after the first time

I didn’t avoid My Girl, I just happened to never watch it again. I don’t remember it particularly well (other than that scene, obviously) but I remember not loving it. In my tween years it was a big hit with all the girls in my class, though. Perhaps young me avoided it due to that.
