Better The Nose or The Foot?

Put yourself to the test! How? Answer these questions and find out what some of the funniest scientific articles about our bee friends reveal. Pain is always subjective, an entirely personal experience, experienced and known only by those affected. Yet there are different types of pain measurement scales. The Schmidt scale, which measures the intensity of pain perceived following the stinging of different species of hymenopterous insects, is one example. true or false? True. Yes, entomologist Justin Schmidt has created a 4-level pain scale (with apis mellifera having a score of 2). This scale, however, has limitations: it does not take into account that the intensity of pain varies depending on which part of the body is being stung. It is at this point that Michel Smith comes into the picture, using himself as a guinea pig in the name of science, getting bee stings in 25 different areas of the body and rating their pain on a scale of 1 to 10.
