You know, like they show on the nature shows? To prove that unless provoked a bee/wasp wouldn't sting?

Me - no. Certainly not a wasp. Bee's are pretty docile and placid so theres a chance but Never a wasp.

Maybe a bee, because they dont sting unless you scare them

But wasp...hell no. They are horrible bastards who sting for the fun of it :bored:

I run from them.

I do from wasps. Not bees. I usually chase bee's with my camera :joker:

That said, I'm sure some bees are living under our shed :shocked: There were wasps in the wall cavity too but I'm hoping thats sorted now

A Bee yes, because they will only sting you if in danger,to get away.
A wasp no way though, they are extremely intolerant and bad tempered things.

You shouldnt, when you kill them they release a pheromone that attracts more wasps....

No, I haven't found out if I'm allergic to bee/wasp stings despite swallowing a wasp when I tried to take a bite out of a massive sandwich

Bumble bees are great. They literally do just bumble around :D

Honeybee's are often mistaken for wasps as they're much smaller

A bee yes.. but a wasp? No ****ing way! I used to not be bothered by them until I put my tights on one morning without realising there was a massive wasp in them! :bawling:

Zippy

yeah why not

they don't just randomly sting anything they land on. They have to feel threatened.

I've been stung by a wasp. Never a bee *touch wood*. The wasp flew up my jeans and stung my leg :bawling:

I'm afraid to say that you can develop allergies so even if you were stung once and are fine you may not be immune the next time :/

It deserved death.

I'd have happily removed it and set it free if it didn't act a bitch.

I know people are always like "Oh shh, bees don't sting unless they think they're in danger", but I still don't like them :p It's like moths - I don't care if they're harmless, I'm still scared of them :laugh:

And wasps definitely no. They're horrible little things -_-

No chance.

I likes bees though, but like most have said, wasps are nasty little bastards.

Cos I've seen it done and was intrigued who else would :D They actually put jam on childrens fingers to attract the wasps :shocked:

I felt that way about a spider last night. Caught it in a glass and went to flick it out the window. But the it jumped out just as I tilted the glass to flick!

It landed on the floor so I just stamped on it to stop it scurrying behind furniture. He had his chance for freedom.

Sounds like when I caught a spider in a glass to free it. Only it jumped in the glass so I lobbed the lot down the garden :joker:

Well seeing as I have a massive phobia of the things the thought of letting that happen alone scares the sh!t outta me.

A few days ago I got a wasp stuck on my jumper sleeve, its leg was stuck. And then to my friends I was like OMG HELP OMFG! and all they could do was laugh.

It can still sting though. That makes it evil.

A bee is a just a wasp wrapped up in a stripey jumper, they're both evil :nono:

Bees are okay, that wouldn't be too bad. To be honest I don't mind bees, we kinda need them after all.

Wasps are just bastards and I always forget the difference and think wasps are bees and then when it comes near me I realise and run.

I worked as a groundskeeper in Colchester Zoo and in the summer there's an amazing amount of wasps in the bins, particularly around the fast food and ice cream stands. I had to empty about 200+ bin bags and the wasps never stung me. They were too worried about the hornets.

Funnily enough, it is much safer to do nothing if a wasp lands on you and wait for it to go away or at least use a piece of paper or card to shove them off so they don't know it is you. They react really badly to provocation, especially in late summer/early autumn.

A wasp once landed on my daughters shoulder and stung her three times for the hell of it. Little sh!t thing it was. I didn't manage to kill it either and just got it off her. I wanted revenge :mad:
