Ami Anne | I saw that. So so sad. I rejoice when I see a bee in my garden. Luckily, they don't seem aggressive, as some bees can be ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

Randall | No, they are worker drones and won't sting unless they have to, because then they die, and dead bees can't work. |
mockingbird | I saw that they fell from trees that had been recently been sprayed with a pesticide with a specific wanting that it's not to be used in areas with bees ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device.

Ami Anne | It is funny that the bees I see in my garden have no aggression. I am glad but I thought bees did have aggression but do certain ones? ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

mockingbird | Wasps, definitely. You pretty much have to sit on a bumblebee or honeybee for it to sting. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device. Please excuse all outrageous typos and confusing auto-corrects. |
Randall | Yep, they are very docile. They fly all over the place here and ignore people. |
Randall | Such a loss. |

yes, I find that and was surprised because as a child, you were afraid of bees. They are lovely. I water my garden right next to them. |
Randall | Probably because we were all stung at one time or another as a kid--but it was actually by a yellow jacket or a wasp. To a kid, a bee is a bee. |

Do bees sting? I stepped on something when I was a child at camp. It was really scary. I remember one of the teachers at my school was allergic to bees so I was waiting to die from an allergic reaction. I was a very nervous little kid

mockingbird | They will, but to sting kills honey bees and bumblebees, so it's obviously a last resort. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device. Please excuse all outrageous typos and confusing auto-corrects. |
Randall | They lose their stinger and die, so they will only sting to protect the Queen or hive...or if you literally squeeze them. |
Randall | I had a roommate allergic to bee venom, but he walked right past bumblebees with no fear. |
Randall | Plenty of them around here, though. Crepe Myrtle right at my front door. |
