I hate wasps and bees...they are my biggest fear.
I'm not usually one for irrational fears...

bumblebees can't hurt you, in fact. they don't have any stings i think they're cute. at least much more than wasps

Wikipedia says:

The European dark bee can be distinguished from other subspecies by their stocky body, abundant thoracal and sparse abdominal hair which is brown and overall dark coloration; in nigra, there is also heavy dark pigmentation of the wings. Overall, when viewed from a distance, they should appear blackish, or in mellifera, rich dark brown. The aggressive feral hybrids with other subspecies can be distinguished by the lighter, yellowish banding on the sides of the abdomen, but this is often difficult. For breeding pure dark bees according to the standard, details of the wing veins are nowadays considered to be the only reliable distinguishing character.

Yeah I never kill insects. It seems so unfair

If I want to restrain a fly or a wasp I spray them with just a little amount of hairspray, it stops they flying around because their wings stick together. you can then pick them up with something and take them outside.

doesn't that render them motionless for life though? resulting in their imminent death anyway?

I wouldnt have thought so. I have observed them for sometime to check that they are okay and they seem to eventually come unglued. The real problem i would imagine is the chemicals. How would your body react to have a huge shower of hairspray sprayed at you? But I figured they would have died quicker if left buzzing round a window for hours on end. It gives them a bit more enjoyable life I suppose.

do what swa(y) says but just becareful i had a friend that once did that and as he took it out side he was actually lifted up in the air by the bee..it was pretty amazing untill he kept getting higher and higher, we all started to panic and didnt know what to do, 12 days later there was a knock on our door..it was my friend, his clothes were torn and he was holding the blanket in his hands, we brought him inside for some coffee but he barely took a sip.

Just warning you thats all.

Bees are having serious trouble right now with massive population losses.
Bumblebees provide valuable pollination services and these mysterious losses are troubling. I have a friend who is a bee scientist, so I have been hearing about this for quite a while, but even Martha Stewart has been talking about it of late.
My scientist friend will have a book out soon on raising bumblebees for the novice. I did some proofreading/editing for her, and it was interesting and easy to digest for the lay-person.
Bumblebees do have stingers and they don't die after using them like honeybees do.

We have a bee nesting box in the garden, like this one.



 


Bees are glorious creatures and will rarely sting. Certainly won't if you leave them alone.

Umm not true I have been stung while i was sat down doing my homework. This bee randomly came along and stung me. I absolutely dispise wasps/bees/bumblebees or even flies that look like bees.

I started a thread about the vanishing bees recently and got yelled at by the board. What else is new.

Its genetic engineering that is killing the bees. You're children are next! But who cares when there are video games to be played!

I said rarely. Why would they sting for no reason?

I got stung on my bum by one of them because:

1 - I always have the window open and i generally sleep naked.

2 - I was sleeping, and the movements of my body must have antagonized theirs.

Bees are horribly creepy creatures.

yes Sarramkrop

I leave people alone and I expect them to do the same. I have never once gone near a bee, they have always entered my personal space and stung me. To which case I then have to kill them (one got hit with a pan). See its a matter on action and reaction. If Bees stay the fuck away from me they get to live.

I bet you're a flapper around bees and that's why you get stung.

I've never been stung by a bee, but I don't panic when I see one.
