• Un-bee-lievable: One in five kids has never seen a bee
    154 replies, posted
I really hate bugs, though its mostly because of their eyes. They just looks freaky up close. Infact I really have a fear of anything that has that type of eye.
I sometimes give the bees something to eat whilst I sit in my garden. Until some cunt ass fucking wasp shows up to ruin my fucking day by putting me on its list of things to fuck up.
I have seen bees, but I am 21 years old and I have never been stung. *knocks on wood*
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;40298988]No seriously, they stagger around like they're drunk for a couple of hours, flying into walls and falling to the floor and all of that crap. Then they just stop moving.[/QUOTE] You should see flying ants. A swarm infested my house, and they all flew like they were drunk. They always landed by roling on the ground, or nose-dive, and some times in front of a cat. Washing ants out of hair is not fun. How did natural selection not make these things go extinct a while ago?
[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;40289987] [t]http://www.theinformationarchives.com/wasp/images/3_wasp-0071.jpg[/t] This is a wasp. Recognizable by it's very narrow and lithe body, thin stripes of black and yellow, and the aura of pure, unrefined evil that emanates from its sheer existence.[/QUOTE] That is a Paper Wasps (Polistes gallicus) and they are not aggresive at all...They will only attack if they feel (or its nests) threatened. The one you are refering to is the yellow jacket which is this [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/European_wasp_white_bg.jpg/320px-European_wasp_white_bg.jpg[/img] One of the yellow jacket species (Vespula germanica) [QUOTE=lifehole;40290784]I have a wasp nest in my backyard, and I leave the backyard door open frequently.

well look at you mister paper wasp white knight im loading up my torch and preparing for the zombee apocalypse
Bees I don't mind, but wasps seem to have a universal hatred of me. As a child I have very distinct memories of being chased by wasps, one in particular chased me across the entire block before planting a sting right on the back of my neck. Had I been allergic, I'd probably be dead. We also have paper wasps here at home and the assholes only ever attack ME, and usually when I'm running around the back yard with the goat. It's like my movement and happiness enrages them, and they just attack en masse. Bees? Nah, never a problem. Think I got stung once in my life and that was because I accidentally stood on one who was already almost dead. Bumble bees are awesome too, they tend to buzz about, see what's going on then just cruise off without much fuss. Fuck wasps.

I'd rather them never seeing a wasp before :( THOSE are the fuckers to look out for.
I've never been stung by a bee before. Is this normal?

Bumblebees are cute, they just buzz around and mind their own business while wasps/hornets are the total assholes that will dive bomb you if you get too close. Sadly, i'm allergic to wasps. Anyone of those cunt bags that gets close gets killed.
[QUOTE=Harnbrand;40304656]I've never been stung by a bee before. Is this normal?[/QUOTE] Neither have I :v: I've only ever been stung once or twice in my life by stinging nettles lol
I bet they've seen a solitary bee species knocking about and not known it was a bee. There are different types of bee: you've got your honeybees, your bumblees and your solitary bees. In the British Isles at least, there's around 243 species of solitary bee, and they don't often look like your big fluffy fuzzy bees so you wouldn't recognise them at a glance. Unfortunately there isn't a huge amount of research on solitary bees because there's no all encompassing identification key for solitary bee species (at least those established in the British Isles) yet. Apparently this guy George Else has been 'almost finished' on one for the last 20-odd years. Apparently it'll come out next year. The thing about solitary bees is that there's so many of them (in terms of numbers of species) and they're all so morphologically diverse, it's awesome. One of my favourites is this bright metallic green bee that I don't remember the name of that you can see in the British Isles. Pro Tip: If you'd like to encourage bee populations around your garden, it's best to plant a diverse range of flowers (some bee spp. specialise on certain flowers), that are in bloom at different times of the year. Some places off what they call 'bee packs' of seeds, which is a good place to start I'd imagine (I don't do much gardening).

They've kind of gone feral, but they attract bees like you wouldn't believe. I'm not a huge fan of bees, but we mostly try to stay out of each other's way. Unlike wasps. Wasps are kill-on-sight as far as I'm concerned.
Any insect that flies freaks me the fuck out. [QUOTE=bloser;40305194]Anyone of those cunt bags that gets close gets killed.[/QUOTE] If you miss, you're in a world of pain and trouble. Just run away!

I haven't seen any bees, they're dying out quickly, I am sad :c
I'd be perfectly happy if I'd never seen a bee, but then I'm also allergic to bee stings. The first and last time I got stung was when I was about two. I've been stung by wasps plenty of times, though. I actually duck at the sound of insects buzzing close to me. Unfortunately, the hummingbirds around my house have noticed, and I swear the little assholes like to swoop right past me just to make me jump.
one time i was like 8 i stabbed a bee fucker with a toothpick because his fucking gay ass bee brother or some shit stung me on my fucking birthday stupid cock
I've never had good experiences with bees. It all started when I was two. Family was at a party an I was at the end of my street playing near one of those metal things they have at dead ends to prevent people from driving through. Too young to remember it, but I reached my hand into part and apparently a huge swarm of bees chased after me. My father had to carry me away running to escape them. I once then was picking flowers in a field for my mother. I saw a black flower and picked it up. Oh wait that was jut a bee on it. Got stung. Then I was on vacation at a cottage. Stood on a piece of wood and a bee stung my leg. Eventually though I got my revenge. Was sitting in Church in one of the front pews for a school mass (parochial school). I felt something on my back. It's a bee. Eventually it flies off. I somehow managed to stomp on it screaming "DIE DIE DIE" in the middle of church during school Mass. Everybody stared, but I did it, I finally got the upper hand. Managed to not get stung for a couple more years. Unfortunately I couldn't maintain it forever. I was mowing the lawn on a riding mower and a bee lands on my head. It gets stuck it my hair stinging me, I swerved out of my path pulling it out. I really hate those things.

[QUOTE=An Armed Bear;40306517]Aren't Tarantula Hawks quite docile as far as wasps go? Good thing too since they have one of the most painful stings on the planet.[/QUOTE] Yes they are usually gentle unless you are a tarantula
[QUOTE=An Axolotl;40294328]lil tiny bees man so fuzzy so buzzy[/QUOTE] I kind of like An Axolotl.
One time I was a kid and I was outside, I had this one net thing with me for some reason, and as I am going back in. I see a wasp on the grass. I had a huge fear of wasps back then so I did what I had to do. I hooked the wasp in the net and ran faster than a bullet towards the door. I don't go out for another like 2 days. When I do I see a dead wasp in the net.
I had a run-in with some bees last summer... [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1187766[/url]
Get some redbud trees, honey bees love them. That's the only flower I can think of, that when blooming, I consistently see honey bees feeding on. No clue as to why.
