    • like, at school (I Don't go anymore, but when I did), when a bee gets into the classroom, and flies by a kid, they all run, and scream "BEE". and i'm not talking about KIDS, i'm talking about middle school/high school kids. Am I the only one who just sat there, repeating over and over like a father to a CHILD, that "If you just leave it alone, don't freak out, it won't bother you. It's more scared of you, than you are it"? and i understand that some people are alergic, they are the only exceptions. ....just curious. :)

    • Bees are not funny

    There is not many people in this world that feel the same as you about not being afraid of bees. Have you ever been attack by bees before..? I was attack by many bees when i was a little girl, it really hurt. So the next time you think that it is funny that a bee flying around in the room..you better hope it will not land on you.

    • Though not entirely the same, a wasp was flying around my sister's room. Let's just say I caught it in one of those old small film containers.

    Yeah, I'm not scared.

    I'm not afraid of bees. If you leave them alone and give them space without provoking them your fine.

    If I see one, I won't be scared. BUT the minute it gets near me, I run xP I hate insects, overall.

    • If you don't provoke or frighten the bees, they won't sting you. That's what I did wrong all but the last time I was stung by one... and that last time, I got stung because I wasn't aware it was on the back of my neck and I tilted my head back because I thought it was an itch (I was being resourceful on how to scratch it!), which startled the bee, so it stung me as I was unknowingly crushing it. XD; I've been stung five times, most of them in the vicinity of my face. XD;

    I'm not afraid of them unless they're acting malicious, so I usually just ignore them if it's not malicious, but keep a wary eye when there's food around.

    Not so much scared as weary. If a bee flies into my room, I'll just walk out and wait for it to leave via the window. If only that could be said for the rest of my family. Whenever any flying insect comes near her, she'll emit an almighty shriek and start screaming 'wasp! Wasp!' even when it's just a fly. If it wasn't so mind numbing, I'd probably find it funny.

    This thread reminds me of a massive freakout my entire class had when we were eight years old. My friend Fionn brought into two earworms for show and tell and they escaped from their box. It took a game of Chinese whispers for everyone to realise that if an earworm gets inside your ear, you're deaf for life, so people were screeching their heads off and standing on tables or chairs. Can't stop laughing whenever I reminisce about it.

    How would you cause a problem with a Queen Bee? She doesn't even do anything, let alone give orders to the others.

    • I used to be afraid ever since a yellowjacket got me in the most uncomfortable place four times as a child (my dad should've noticed it when he placed me in my carseat >.>), but now I'm not too afraid of them, the exception being wasps of any sort ('cause actually, the only time I ever got stung/bitten by them, it was done by wasps).

    It's sad how people consider these bees pests like mosquitos. They're the ones giving us the honey we use in our tea or with our biscuits and crackers, and yet people want to kill them. I'm honestly glad whenever I see a honey bee or two now.

    As long as one doesn't bother it, it won't bother you.

    OK, true story time. You may call me crazy, but both my mom and I witnessed this: At a message therapist's office, there was a HUGE bee in the bathroom. So what my therapist did was TALK to the bee while getting it to go outside. She was talking to it nicely, as if it were a person, and it actually did go outside without causing any trouble.

    So I guess treat bees as if they were human and you won't have any problems?

    I doubt your actually causing an issue with the queen of the hive. It's more likely that you're just getting in too close to the hive and doing something to upset the hive as a whole. All the queen does is lay more eggs inside the hive, and a queen will rarely leave the hive, unless there's already a queen in that hive.

    • Cicada killers aren't bad at all. They're among some of the nicest bees (in my opinion, the ones that fall in that category other than cicada killers include bumblebees and carpenter bees).

    Just don't confuse them for hornets. Hornets are definitely worse.

    They're a type of wasp though and they have been known to have a bad temper if you don't treat them with respect.

    • i really like bees. i'm very interested in beekeeping, but i don't think i can do it. and i love you ALL for having the same outlook as me, with the whole "If you dont bother it, it wont bother you." I'm CONSTANTLY yelling at kids in my family, for going out of their way, just to kill a bee. a bee that isnt bothering anybody, for instance, a bee sitting on a flower, away from everybody. the kids in my family, my nephew especially, will walk all the way over to it, and step on it. it pisses me off more than anything.

    Spiders are a different story, though. if they're in my house, i have to kill them. if they're outside, i don't... ever.

    Cicada killers are indeed bad. O_o I don't know what you've heard, but just like with most wasps, they have a bad temper.

    I've had one chase me before for no reason! ;_;

    They don't chase anyone for no reason, you must have got close to its nest :x

    Which are usually hidden in the ground. A popular place for them is sandboxes.

    So, if one chased me for being on a sidewalk near its nest, what would one do to a kid playing in a sandbox near one? Or how about kids in a backyard near one?

    :/
