Bees and I go way back.= Bees and I are old friends?
Context:
Bees and I go way back.At the age of one I was sitting in my
high chair on our screened porch lost in the innocent oblivion
of infancy when a sharp pain suddenly pierced my right forearm.
The most traumatic experience of my short life (other than
birth),it produced a gusher of tears and wails that brought my
mother running.She immediately swatted the bee (its barbed
stinger still in my arm), brushed it off, dabbed the sting with
ammonia,and smothered me with emotional comfort.

Hi, I wouldn't say 'friends' in a context like this where the bee attacked the child. I'd say Bees and I have had a relationship for a long time. Clive
