I dunno if I can believe this with good conscious. The collective old black people I was raised around told me if you pissed off some bees you could go in the house and put on a different color shirt and they wouldnt recognize you.

I got one for ya....

There was this one summer, for the longest time, I refused to go into our pool during the day. The fucking bees invaded it. Not all at once, but one at a time. All damn day long, every damn day. Like a bee would fly across, and I don't know if it was dipping an appendage into the water, and gliding above the water, then come out the other side, fly away, and then comes the next one to do the same, one after the other. My dad ended up putting up bee traps next to the pool, and they WORKED really fucking well. So many fucking dead bees in those damn things every day, and I guess eventually we ended up trapping al the bees because no more were getting trapped, and no more were going into the pool. 

What the hell did these bees want with our pool? I thought they were stealing the water for something. But for what?

Well maybe they should've chosen water that wasn't treated with deadly chemicals designed to kill them, hm?

And no, they weren't just thirsty, unless literally their entire existence is nothing but getting drinks of water. 

a bee drinks it's weight in water daily.

They chemicals won't kill them for a while so they're still useful to the colony.

The ones you captured and killed will never make it back with the food their family was reliant upon.

Bees still do other things. These bees did not. Except sleep.

That one summer was the only summer any bees tried to commandeer our pool. Bees are still around, but before and since that one summer draining our pool of all its water has not been the life mission of any bee colony here.

yes it is and it's scary 

I have forgotten a lot about my biology 1 class so yeah insects are kind of surprising to me how I forgot what I learned in biology 2 and a main thing we talked there was a animal behavior actually something that would be useful nowadays I would think considering I'm a pet owner

plant more flowers.

they like black~eyed susans. 

 

Sunflowers are supposed to have bee antibacterials.  Something about sunflowers protects bees from that crap that has been killing them off.

It's pheromones.  Wasps in particular have certain pheromones released with their stings that draws other wasps to attack the target as well.  Applying garlic to the sting covers the scent and helps as a deterrent.

Then you just have to fend off a bunch of Italian chefs.

Well damn.  Then that means the wasp that stung me in the palm a couple years ago just quickly buzzed his friends so they would threaten me too?  What a fucking asshole.  I hate wasps.

I'm not decided on if I believe in God, but I definitely believe in the devil. You know why?

Spoiler

Wasps. Wasps are the literal devil. All of them.

This is why beekeepers who aren't dickheads can check their hives without and protective gear because the bees know they aren't a threat.

bubby thinks it's cool that i let bees land on me. 

i honestly had no idea about the face recognition until today. 

but i just KNEW those bees knew me.

tight.. roaches can live like that for a while..  A lot of wasps have evolved to "hawk" other simular sized human pests though. Such as the jewel wasp that inserts it's larvae into cocroaches at just the right spot so as they mature they end up controlling their hosts body..
