Actually, not even any attempt to make jokes, but I would have flipped. The. Fuck. Out. One bee terrifies me. Always has, even though I’ve only been stung by a bee once, less than a year ago, it wasn’t terrible, and I’m not allergic. Same goes for wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, and any flying insect that looks like it might sting me. ---

It’s so weird that there were exactly 10,000 of them, and that someone counted them all! ---

> [@Anne\_Neville](#): > > Now they know how many bees it takes to fill the Albert Hall? Woke up, fell off the wing Fell on my butt, it sure did sting Found my way downstairs and caught a buzz And there I was, an apis mellifera Put on my hat, and yellow jacket Flew on the bus, and caused a racket, Bumbled my way into the hive And having arrived, I bowed before the queen. ---
