No one hates bees more than J.R. Smith right now.

While playing during the second day of his first collegiate golf tournament, Smith stepped on a beehive while searching for his ball on the 12th hole at the Elon Phoenix Invitational in Burlington, NC.

The former NBA guard was playing in his final round of the tournament when he was attacked by the nest of yellow jackets.

Smith removed his shoes and at one point had ice wrapped around his ankles for treatment. The two-time NBA champion waited off to the side while other groups continued to play.
