Meaning of apifobia




furoya

apifobia
  3

It is the fear of bees, wasps, and especially their stings. The etymology is curious, because it comes from the Latin apis, is ("bee"), when there is already a completely Greek synonym like melisophobia, and I found no reason to differentiate one from the other. See suffix -phobia .

  




Anónimo

See: Melisofobia.
