summer is on its way then

Lots of big **** off bees around and I've just killed my second inch long wasp in as many days. Yay......

I would retreat into my basement darkroom for the remainder of the bee onslaught, but I wouldn't go down there for about two weeks around Christmas when one had assaulted me. He was brave - survived winter's worst by making his way in, looking to kill me and take over. I can only bet they have more waiting to take me out if I were to attempt to hide from them...*glances around*

I hate bees and wasps and hornets and anything else that flies and stings. I stepped on a a hornets nest when I was little, it wasn't pretty.

Bees are absolutely brilliant creatures, not to mention an integral part in many things we eat...I hope to raise them some day.

Go bees!

Wasps are just as important for your garden as well. They're carnivores and do a great job of eating all the nasty bugs you don't want. I still hate them though.

Bees are cool, as long as they stay away from me. Like I said, I've killed two wasps but saved two bees who got stuck in my room and another couple who've come into this room.
