So you’re saying they make a **bee-line** back to the hive? 😉

Huh? Is this a Merkin thing?

_confused_

Hey yeah jr8 - i could spray them with Immac… they’d end up looking like minuture versions of those hairless rat things (except with wings… and other bee-things)? They might get embarressed though and hide behind petals. Then, when they think no-one’s looking, they’ll rush out like the vicious miniture flying ratbees that they are, plant a whopping great sting on your ear and scamper off home sniggering and buzzing as they go.

I hate bees.

I mean, I can stand to look at them. I’ll even admit to finding bumblebees to be kind of cute, bumbling around amidst the lilacs being fuzzy and looking like Winnie The Pooh should be somewhere nearby stealing their hunny.

But I hate them.

I can’t have them near me, I won’t go near places they are, I refuse to go barefoot in my backyard because we have these bees that live underground in holes and they come bubbling out of the holes and attack your ankles, I swear to god.

And I hate those little fly-type things that are colored like bees but aren’t really.

And I detest wasps.
