    When I was a little girl one huge bumble bee stung me right beside my eye! I was playing shuttle !!!! with my older brother in the garden and whist I was waiting for him to retrieve the shuttle !!!! from the bush, I started dancing around and waving my bat in the air....well obviously I accidently batted a big bumble bee as it flew past and it got annoyed and came back for REVENGE!!! It really hurt and I remember that incident like it was yesterday! Ever since then I panic when I see one! :(

    And why do people talk to small animals they see. Would be amazing if one day a mouse or such replied with a 'hello, just sitting here' :rotfl:

    I talk to all the animals :D
    & the bees/birds/spiders/etc
    would be lovely if they replied :D
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    I can see why now but usually bees just fly on by as they have a purpose.
    And the consolation is the bee died.

    Bumble bees are always coming into our sun porch in the summer and not being able to get back out. I don't like them very much either but always try to put them back outside.

    You dont get honey from bumble bees although they do make it

    Can't see the appeal of sweet spit from an insect
