I'm that way if a bee gets in my vehicle.

That's a good question. My personal feelings about those critters makes
an objective estimation of their size difficult. My guess is that a big
one would be around 7". A small one would be around half that length.

I don't know why a bee should get into a car and in fact, I never knew
of that happening until I had a couple of young kids in the back seat.
Boy, those kids went hysterical. That happened several times - a most
unpleasant occurrence. That hasn't happened since the kids grew up. I
guess the bees know that they would just smash it with a water bottle
and throw it's lifeless body out the window. That's no fun for bees. :-)
