Actually, this happened today at 4:45 AM, just as dawn was breaking -- something that will be relevant.
I have a peculiar habit of sleeping on my balcony during the summer. The night air is crisp, and gazing at the stars while lying on my mattress is a serene experience. Although the big city hum in the background is pleasant to listen to, it can be a bit loud for going too sleep. That's why I usually wear earplugs to sleep, specifically those neon-yellow earplugs , as they are easy to find in bed if I lose one during the night.
So, as I was happily snoring away, I was abruptly woken up by a loud buzzing sound. Not fully awake yet, I thought it was a mosquito trying to land on my head and swatted at it against my ear -- only to feel my ear erupt with a fiery, burning sensation.
You see, at the break of dawn, the light is very UV-rich, which makes the earplugs appear much brighter. I guess some unlucky early bee mistook my ear for a juicy flower glowing in the first light of day and got squished against my ear.
Oh, and one cannot go back to sleep with a stinging, burning ear, so my work day is like trying to jog through knee-deep mud.
TL;DR: neon earplugs attract bees. Who would have thought?
