"Yes," he pointed out, "but when Szayel bothered you, you bit through his hand, so that wariness isn't misplaced. The worst a bee will do to you is sting; it might pinch a little, and the bee will die."
It could be put forward that Lumi had similarly risked death by putting a part of Szayel into his mouth, but that was a consequence of Szayel rather than the bite so Marluxia didn't think it a fair comparison.
