There are many phobias in the world, some common (heights, snakes, spiders, etc), others so rare as to leave the majority of people who arenโt affected by them scratching their heads.
My phobia is bees. Well, I should add that itโs anything that buzzes and has the capacity to sting, but itโs without doubt bees that sit front and center of my concern. Why, you ask? If I knew that I might be able to figure out a way to overcome my irrational fear.

Now, when I was a young child my terror knew no bounds. Literally โ and Iโm ashamed to say this โ if I had the power to click my fingers and rid the world of bees, I probably would have done so.Of course, with the benefit of hindsight (and a deal more maturity and knowledge) I know that would have been an extremely bad idea. Had I assumed these god-like powers and made bees extinct I would have effectively doomed the human race to a similar fate.
