Multiple deaths per year in Australia from honeybee stings. Box jellyfish average less than one per year. Conflicting sources put bees (or bees and wasps together) at just behind, on par with, or ahead of venomous snakes in terms of mean annual deaths in Australia.
When I have an encounter with a potentially deadly animal, I don't care about the absolute number of deaths its species have created. I care about the percentage for 1 encounter.
Agreed, there's a big difference between "what is most likely to kill me" and "what is most likely to kill me if I encounter one." However, given that honeybees are so high up there, the average Australian must encounter them a whole lot more than these other animals.
…But also honeybees are not natives. As I've said below, most of us survive despite some frightening encounters.
Are you a honey bee?
Not when I last looked.
I'm their victim—they having stung me on multiple occasions.
