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  ------------------

No, they are worker drones and won't sting unless they have to, because then they die, and dead bees can't work.IP: Logged |

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  ------------------

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?------------------

Wasps, definitely.You pretty much have to sit on a bumblebee or honeybee for it to sting. ------------------

Yep, they are very docile. They fly all over the place here and ignore people. IP: Logged |

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. IP: Logged |

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.IP: Logged |

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

They will, but to sting kills honey bees and bumblebees, so it's obviously a last resort.------------------

They lose their stinger and die, so they will only sting to protect the Queen or hive...or if you literally squeeze them.IP: Logged |

I had a roommate allergic to bee venom, but he walked right past bumblebees with no fear.IP: Logged |
