Dead Bee?

Eddie has the annoying habit of asking each new person he meets, "Have you ever been stung by a dead bee?"  In response to the other person's inevitable question, Eddie explains, "Even a dead bee can sting you if you step on it, especially if it was mad when it died."  ~From To Have and Have Not
Postscript:  Later I went out to try for a better photo and the bee was gone.  Predator?  ...or maybe it was just napping.  Ever been stung by a napping bee?
