    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.

    So you like hornets, which are 100x more agressive than bees and wasps (also usually much larger) when compared to bees?

    Wasps and Hornets are more territorial so they are aggressive, but they don't have large numbers in their hive like bees do so they take no chance with a threat. :3

    Nooo, I hate hornets, but the only ones I've seen still look like bees.. just bigger. So I group them mostly the same. What was in my car was a Hornet, and I was not happy. >_>

    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.

    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.

    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. :)

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

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

    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.
