I am more fearful than the average person. I react different than other people, but I'm not allergic. Been stung as a kid (cried & cried) I freak out , run & scream when they come around me.

Being afraid of bees and wasps is a pretty reasonable fear - especially if you were stung as a kid. Go to a therapist who specializes in phobias. There are techniques now that can cure you of excessive fear in a few sessions. You don't want to panic so badly that you crash your car or seriously injure yourself trying to get away from harmless bees.
Most bees and wasps will not bother you unless you step on their nest or swat at them. I have a nest of yellow jackets in my shed and they haven't ever bothered me - even when I start my motorcycle three feet away from them.
Keep your food and sodas covered at outdoor gatherings. Avoid eating at parks where yellow jackets have learned to gather for a free meal.
Of course, if you live where there are Africanized honey bees, you'd better be afraid. They will chase a person more than a 1/4 mile and keep stinging and stinging. There is nothing you can do but avoid them and don't wear dark clothing. This website gives some effective techniques for avoiding them.

Phobia Of Wasps And Bees

I'm not religious, but I do have heavy sociological / anthropological background. If you feel the need to "fear" your God, then it's because you feel guilty for something, or you want to feel victimized. Most folks don't fear their God. They love their God. God is like the ultimate leader. As Machiavelli said, a good leader must be both loved and feared. If he is just loved, then people will still do what they want against his wishes at times. If he is just feared, then they won't love their own lives, only doing what he wants out of fear of ramifications. If they love and fear him, then they will do what he wants out of love and respect first, and out of fear second. Let me try to use a different analogy for God... God, in most peoples' eyes, is like a good parent. A good parent uses 2 parts love and 1 part discipline to ensure people lead a good life. 1 part love is unconditional. God loves you unconditionally, because you are his creation. (Just as a parent loves their child unconditionally). 1 part love is for positive reinforcement. God shows you love to reward your good behavior. This is what most folks call "blessings", "miracles", etc. Parents do the same with them children; give them hugs when they succeed. 1 part discipline is used for negative reinforcement. God punishes people when they've been bad. Parents do the same to children. Now, most people will follow a Godly life simply because they respect and love God due to 1 part unconditional love, and 1 part positive reinforcement. If that doesn't work then they fear the 1 part discipline. However, what's "blessing" and "punishment" from God is subjective. Different religions, and even individuals, may see something as a blessing while others see it as a curse. Everyone can see whatever they want into something. When a mother hugs a child, it's pretty tangible that it's a hug. But, when a person finds $5 on the street is that a blessing? What if it just enables them to do something bad? I think the better way to look at God is that he gives people chances. The $5 is an opportunity. How the person chooses to use that opportunity dictates whether it's a "blessing" or "curse".

You can only rid your fear by maintaining conscious control of your emotions. Stay in control of your actions. When you start to feel fear, take deep breaths, and realize you are panicking. Stay in control. No one can rid you of your fear, but you can stay in control of it. These type of insects are a good type to stay away from anyways...
