Bees leave behind their stingers when they sting you. Then, they die. And, that pain is more intense initially. The spider bite is more subtle. I would say no. I get these weird tiny spiders that have these dense nests and they tend to nest in boxwood shrubs in patches. I got some crazy spiders that like to nest either in or near these boxwoods. I'm not sure whether to be more scared of the little or big spider bite. They all look scary! Damn these boxwoods! They're everywhere! Spiders all over! It's spider anarchy! Spidergeddon! They drop in, hang around, and bite. They attacked me in pods or some sort of pod formation working in tandem. It all happened at once and was over just as fast. Sigh. WE USED TO BE FRIENDS, SPIDERS! I WILL NOT REST UNTIL YOU ARE ALL DEAD!
