Are you kidding? Bees are responsible for pollinating nearly half the plants on Earth, including most of the food crops. They're anything but evil.

 

omg creepy

 

they attacked me
they are a little tiny bit evil

btw Hi

 

Africanized bees are responsible for many attacks on people. They've only been in the U.S. for about 20-25 years. They mate with regular bees who are GOOD for us, and that causes a problem.

 

You're not killing them...he will!

Time to go.....

 

if they are africanized calkl one Classyv

just put in ER disk 1

 

Night Magge!

 

You'd be surprised. "Regular" bees will pursue someone for as far as 100 yards if provoked enough. Africanized bees will give chase for 10X that distance. Africanized bees are seriously aggressive and they don't send just a few to do the job, they come on by the hundreds. They're a big problem in Las Vegas, though it seems the word has got out good enough that they are dealt with fairly quickly now.

 

yeah they don't resemble regular bees at all
they are darker and smaller -
but they weren't even swarming..and them bam outta no where
3 of them tangled in my hair


but my hair did smell really nice today .....can't blame them


G'nite Hayd Rest well

 

I hear ya scribe, but if the bee is half-and-half, you never know.

 

Night Hayd.

Are you sure they aren't hornets, Classy? Hornets are dark in color usually.

 

good night hayd

howdy scribe

 

Night Hayd.

 

I am positive. They are just bees.

 

I don't think they acted out of malice.

Hey u

It's a reality we have to live with. They pollinate plants just like their European cousins. The only alternative is to import South African Bee Eaters (a very colorful bird and natural bee predator) to control their population. A bird like that would actually thrive in the American southwest. I think it would be cool to see them introduced here.

 

Ugh.. hundreds... FughhTHAT!
omg I would be dead lol
ok regular bees
I found a pic
'its called a dark honey bee

 

Oh mai

When I was a kid.. I was standing on the stairs to our church
and I felt something in my pant leg

I immediately reached down and grabbed it ..while it was inside my pants
and started yelling "spider...spider"
and thankfully
somehow
the wasp managed to free itself
and with my vicious leg shaking .....flew off

I left out the part where I tell you it wasn't a spider but a wasp

it was uuughly to say the least

 

damn Classyv!
