is anybody here NOT afraid of Bees?
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. :)

i am the same.. exept.. i have even more stories of high school/middle school freak outs
1. BEES every **** week there is oh (shriek) blah blah blah... it anoys me 2. LIZARDS I wasn't even in their class that period!!!!! and they were running around the room (this is middle school now) and i had to step in and had it in my hands and out the door in 30 seconds 3. SPIDERS i mean small spiders and they would just kill them.. no reason... now i had fun one day at school and brought in a female Black Widow.. (female they are the poisonous biting ones with the red hourglass - Males are nice and aren't poisonous) and had it crawl on my arms and stuff.. lol.. had the whole cafetiria shrieking.. didn't even get in trouble.. and it didn't get killed xD 4. SNAKES I got expelled for saving a pygmy rattlesnake's life! I mean really! i get expelled! and other kids are putting their faces in striking distance while it is backing up ready to bite! |
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. |
Queen bee
I never been that lucky before, for some reason i cause a big problem with the queen bee and all them bees come flying after me. I do my best to stay away from them as much as i can.

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 am.
Especially now since there are a bunch of cicada killers in my area. Huge wasps. O_O http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:bvC7J_CrOqse1M:http://rock.uwc.edu/facultypages/tklubert/images/Originals/CicadaKiller.jpg&t=1 |
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. |

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. |

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

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? :/ |
I would never hurt an animal or insect...but Bees?! Gah....I'm scared if they try to sting me!!!!!!! Not allergic,but still...gah...
|
ewgodgeezusnothankyou. D;
I hate bees, and the only thing I hate more are wasps. If I see one within five feet of me, I take off in whatever direction it's not going in. Once, when I was 8 or 9, my mom and I were driving (on the highway) to New York, and a hornet flew into the car. Got into the back of the car where it couldn't get out, and I was back there too. >__> I practically climbed over the seats trying to get away from it, and almost killed us both just because I was afraid of a bee. eff that. |

I mean the only type of bee/wasp I would be scared of is Killer Bees. Even if you get within 100 feet of their hive they will attack. Relentlessly if I must say. They are one of the most territorial insects in the world.

I do know a lot, I've handled them, I've studied them and I've talked to Entomologists about them. |
I have never been stung (at least not what I remember), so until the day I do get stung, I don't really care for Bees, or their relatives. :U
|
OMG LOL. Bees... They're so much outside my school. It's not even normal D:< I hate them, but they don't sting me. BUT--You know when they say stay still? That's so they get a bigger chance of stinging you because you won't move so they get ya =P

I'm allergic, but I'm not afraid. If you don't run screaming from them and aren't dripping in honey, they usually don't come after you. What you said is what people say about snakes etc. and it's generally true, but people lose their heads and flail and the bees / snakes etc. come for them. I live in rural Australia so I'm fairly used to snakes and spiders etc. I guess if a giant tarantula was coming for me, I'd be nervous, but the majority of spiders that scare people aren't even that harmful, let alone fatal.
|
Getting stung by bee's sucks. it used to happen to me quite often.
|
bee sting, put some baking soda (Or Powder? Don't remember) On it, and it won't even hurt, at all. :P But while we're on the topic of creepy ****, in 6th grade,
in science class. . . a snake got loose in the school .. . . and was found . . . . . . in my desk. in my period. ugh. and i'm so afraid of snakes. but i didn't freak. I proudly kept my cool. :) |

They aren't bad. I've handled many Pythons and a cobra. |
I'm not afraid of bees, I just try to avoid them in general. I hate being stung -__-
|
I hate insects as a general rule, but weirdly enough, I'm okay with Bees, they don't bother me. Unless there's loads of them, I get creeped out then.
Wasps on the other hand... I'm gone like a bullet if one comes close. |
I've got apiphobia, so I'm really afraid of bees. Even the sting-less ones. It's quite sad, actually.
|
what about ants? I actually know some people who are scared of ants.
|
Im not scared of ants Or really scared of bees or wasps unless they get close. but I dont like killing them. it really annoys me when my parents kill a fly or a spiders or a wasp cos my sisters are scared . :/
|
i'm not scared of bees unless there's 3 or more of them or if it get on me
Flashback time:one day i'm just walking outside then a bee stung me on the temple and man did it hurt |
I'm only afraid of bees/wasps because I don't know if I'm allergic or not.
|
I might have been afraid of bees/wasps when I was a kid but now i'm not afraid of them. However, I don't shoo them off if they're on me or else they'd sting me. XD
|
Well, whenever a bee or a big fly is in the classroom... I have to keep my eye on it flying around, that horrible buzzing noise does my head in... and I lose concentration on my work. If I see one outside, I try my hardest to avoid it because again, that buzzing noise freaks me out. xDD; In the case of wasps, I run because they're more dangerous than bees are. :B
|
I'm not afraid of bees or wasps (they heavily annoy me though), but I have a phobia of crane flies. Does that count?

I am scared of every single flying, yellow-black colored bug. I ain't afraid of spiders, but of bees, wasps, hornets etc.
|
I'm not afraid of bee's as much as I am wasps. I've been stung by both. The bee sting was harmless really, but the hornet hurt.
|
nah i aint afraid of bees. as long as it doesn't chase me.... lol
|
In my 16 years of life on Earth, I've been stung by almost 20 bees. With that, I stay away from them and do not look at them whatsoever.
|
I'm not afraid of bees at all.
Actually, once there was a bee inside of my classroom and I picked it up and held it outside the window unitl it flew away |
I used to be. I actually WAS stung in a classroom, when I was young. But now... Eh, as long as they don't follow me around I'm okay with them.

awee!!! I bet everyone was like "EWWW ZOMGZZZ!!!!!" |
Me and animals get along just fine (except crows, they hate me, I swear I see one everywhere I go...)
Bees, nah. They're harmless. Wasps? Now we're on a different page. Wasps are known to be a bit "hostile", but I has no fear of little bugs. If you live in Seattle, you're afraid of RACCOONS! |
The very sight of bees makes me just run. Waaaaaah!! Here's another one!!! xD
|
I love bees. I once saw a wasp eating a bee :( I was shocked.
|
I like bees. I walked through two clouds of them without getting stung by them. And one of those times they were pissed off since their hive was crushed. Not my fault, but still.
|
I am not afraid of bees, but I try my best to not piss them off, the consequences will never be the same (lol, memes)
|
For the most part, as in I'm not afraid of the bees themselves. But if a bee or anything suddenly zooms in front of my face, then I usually jump. That's just a reflex though....
Edit: Someone's post reminded me of something. I have been stung by a bee before, but sadly it was because I stepped on a dead bee. lol |
Same here. I'm not afraid of them, I just don't like 'em.
|
Bees? I love them.
Wasps? That's another story! |
Oh god, that reminds me of a story. So we had this old fridge outside, unplugged, and wasps had gotten into it. We had no idea the severity of the situation...
Until my stepdad ripped the door open, thus ripping the hive that covered about 50% of the interior of the fridge open, creating a massive swarm. That was not a fun day. |
That reminds me of this news story I read the other day, I'll post the link if I find it. But basically, this cop got attacked by a bunch of bees, and was actually trapped inside his cop car while the bees just covered the outside of the car.
Yes my minions! :badsmile: :laugh: Edit: Here it is, http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/7947345/policemans-patrol-car-attacked-by-50000-bees |
i think theyre dorable especially the fuzzy fat ones

There's your biology lesson of the day..... ;D |
Quote:
ooh, i've to say i love that picture! it's so cute and fuzzy.. XD; i especially like bumblebees. i'm not afraid of bees nor wasps whatsoever. not at all. i know well that even if one comes close to you, if you'll just sit still, it won't harm you. so usually i'll do just that. occasionally i get impatient if one keeps buzzing around my head though, and i'd push it away with my hand so it can get away from me on its own. but if the reason they (usually wasps..) are near is food, i'd usually catch them in an empty glass, cover the opening, and release them again when we're done eating. they won't die from just that. XD; i do remember once, a wasp had found its way inside our caravan. i was quite young, and tried to catch it with my hands so i could set it free. i couldn't catch it at first, until it sat on my shoulder, so i thought that was my chance! but when i did.. it crawled right into my sleeve. in there, it stung me three times, until it came out at my wrist. at that, i finally managed to catch it with my hands and set it outside. well, that's all i've to say. SIN's biology lesson was quite interesting too though 8D. thankyuu . |
I hate all those things with a stinger, but all you got to do is stay away from it and your fine.
|
Bees won't hurt you if you leave them alone. I'm personally not scared of bees and walk straight through their flight path if I need to get somewhere and they're in the way. I don't get hurt by bee stings for some reason so it's not much of a big deal for me.
|
PC: WE TEACH YOU THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE!
That was interesting to hear though, SIN. As for your story, that's pretty much what happened to us. Trapped in the vehicle, we left for my brother's for dinner and stayed a bit longer than normal to ensure the swarm had died down a bit. It hadn't. :P |
I'm not afraid of bees per se, but I don't like it if they get too close.
|
I dislike bees very much, they always chase me and my dog outside. ): I don't fear them they just can be very annoying at times.
|
I don't mind bees at all, I just hate wasps D:
