It sounds unbelievable but doctors in Taiwan have removed four bees embedded in a woman’s left eye. The 29-year-old patient went to Fooyin University Hospital last month because of severe pain in that eye. Doctors discovered the tiny bees feeding off the moisture in her tear ducts, according to Business Insider Singapore. They are colloquially known as sweat bees because feed on sweat and tears from humans and animals. Matan Shelomi, an associate professor of entomology at National Taiwan University, told The Washington Postthat, luckily, stings by sweat bees aren’t that painful.
