Made me realize for the first time Bees are the only insect that most people don't find disgusting. I mean we literally eat what they create: Honey. It would be fascinating to watch them build their hives.

I think there must be others. Butterflys? Fireflies? Ladybugs?
And I like Praying Mantises because I think they're probably secretly alien robots. I wonder if biologists have ever taken one apart to see if they're truly biological or a machine. I've seen one take down a humming bird, so it's gotta be some kinda machine bro.
This gets a solid "nope" from me, and probably everyone else who has a memory of a very painful sting in their past.
I would classify a bee sting as more of an irritating pain, like a stubbed toe.
I’d rather stub my toe 10 times than get stung by a bee — well, maybe not the same toe. :)
Well, at least it's not hornets.
I read this at first as “sting” and was briefly horrified.
But bees singing is still, to me, quite horrifying, and would not at all help me fall asleep.

I would think that was mostly because of the relation bees have to honey and all the wonderful imagery and thoughts people have about honey. But there is also a lot of general cultural tradition in bee keeping going back atleast 5,000 years.

Honeybees aren’t very aggressive with stings. Yellowjackets in the other hand are vicious if you’re disturbing their nests in any way. Any that establish themselves near my house will be dispatched with as soon as I notice them.
Depends on the bees! I was always pretty relaxed about bees, until a hive at my house turned mean. They would sting us just for daring to be near them, and by 'near' I don't mean we were approaching the hive -- just walking past it, or doing some gardening several metres away.
