Can we stay on topic?
That was unnecessary and a bit rude. Topics branch off like that all the time.
And Ducky did get stung by a whole swarm of bees in 6.
It is incredibly unlikely that they stuck their face and tail in a bee hive. The main reason being the colony would have reacted the way they did when Petrie fell in one; they would have swarmed. The most credible outcome of disturbing a bee colony would be stings and/or bites all over the body, not on just one region. I have made the mistake of disturbing a bee hive and while the stings hurt, I have to say, it's not as bad as falling on your back from a height. I've bruised bones from that. The lasting effects of bruised bones is definetly worse than those of bee stings. I think you fail to realise that hitting the water without breaking the surface is like falling on concrete. Water has a surface that holds well against weight that is less concentrated. meaning it's flat. Also, you have more nerves on your back side. More nerves=more pain.
Of course, now we bring the ferocity of the bees. I've encountered bees that bite and sting during attack. The additional weaponry will increase the intensity of the pain felt, no doubt. This was not the case of Ducky and Spike who had trivial and rather unlikely injuries. Case in point, they should have suffered more than a bandaged beak and tail.
By the way, you have more nerves on your back. That is where the spinal cord is. One more thing: the force needed to knock someone unconscious will cause them great pain when they come to. Not only is the pain intense, but it lingers longer than bee stings. Have you ever been knocked unconscious? Trust me, you feel the pain, just for a second but enough to make you never forget how it felt. To me, a bee sting doesn't compare.
That's the reason I never felt bad for them getting stung unrealistically.
