Uh. Yes they do, or else they wouldn't be called more aggressive. You don't know a lot about bees, do you?

That is false my friend, Wasps and hornets normal sized hives contain 25 individuals or so, while Bees can number in the hundreds.

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

Not really, when you stay still you become less of a threat, as long as your far enough from the hive and stay still you should be fine, unless you ticked them off in some way.

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.

PokeLawry August 13th, 2010 10:32 AM

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. . .

and was found . . .

We're on a bee/wasp topic though D:

They aren't bad. I've handled many Pythons and a cobra.

EmeraldSerenade August 13th, 2010 11:18 AM

I'm not afraid of bees, I just try to avoid them in general. I hate being stung -__-

chickenofunity August 13th, 2010 11:34 AM

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.

Pachireecko August 13th, 2010 12:33 PM

I've got apiphobia, so I'm really afraid of bees. Even the sting-less ones. It's quite sad, actually.

PokeLawry August 13th, 2010 8:58 PM

what about ants? I actually know some people who are scared of ants.

shot571 August 13th, 2010 9:25 PM

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 . :/

tpmrpg August 16th, 2010 6:07 PM

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

shininglatios217 August 16th, 2010 6:15 PM

I'm only afraid of bees/wasps because I don't know if I'm allergic or not.

Natester August 16th, 2010 6:26 PM

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

Zebeedoo August 16th, 2010 6:31 PM

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

mondays suck August 17th, 2010 8:47 AM

I'm not afraid of bees or wasps (they heavily annoy me though), but I have a phobia of crane flies. Does that count?

my friend I have that same irrational phobia I cannot stay in the same room as a bee and have to leave the area if I see one.I absolutely despise the creatures however its more wasps really Ill run from a wasp Ill slowly walk away from a bee.

Aether★ August 17th, 2010 11:16 AM

I am scared of every single flying, yellow-black colored bug. I ain't afraid of spiders, but of bees, wasps, hornets etc.

Comic Tragedy August 17th, 2010 11:50 AM

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.

Trainer Rye August 17th, 2010 2:32 PM

nah i aint afraid of bees. as long as it doesn't chase me.... lol

Évan August 17th, 2010 2:40 PM

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.

Gardenia101 August 17th, 2010 5:59 PM

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
