i believe there are two types of Karma. There is the kind discribed above, like doing good deeds and banking them for next lives. Then there is the kind you experienced, INSTANT Karma. Like the guy said, Never say never and never say always. You got stung randomly, tho possibly because of the bee honey. But more likely it was random or a case of Never say Never. I NEVER got poison oak, used to cut poison oak round here. then one night after the husband cut brush, i woke with a hand print of poison oak on my side (he apparently didnt get all the oil off his hands before bed, thank god we did no more than go to sleep that night!) I am fifty and had never had poison oak, tho i had been stung by fifty bees once when i a kid. So, now bee stings dont hurt cept when they first sting. Go figure. Karma can not be proved, cept INSTANT karma is real noticable.
