Bees

[gyrene81]

Real men keep yellow jackets as pets in the home.  They like to sit in your lap and be stroked.

you shouldn't be stroking anything in your lap...at least not so anyone else would know about it. sicko  


you think yellow jacket sting is bad...try getting tagged by a bald faced hornet

So are scorpions, jellyfish, and rose bushes bees too? 

Poison bees, slimy bees, and bushy bees

Yellowjackets are my favorites.  They love picnics because they eat meat, and when they are REALLY angry they take a big bite to hold on tight, and then sting multiple times in a circle around the bite.  The grip from the bite makes it so you can't just brush them off, you have to grab and pinch off each one of the suckers one at a time.  Good times.

My little brother slipped on a log while we were out camping in California, and his foot kicked a yellowjacket nest under the log.  He sat there on the log screaming as the wasps swarmed him.  Up his pants legs, in his mouth, up both sleeves, up and down his shirt, down his pants, in his hair and ears, everywhere.

Stupid me ran into the swarm to yank him out of there 'cause he was only 6 yrs old.  Of course I was only 8 so I didn't really think it through any farther than "Hey he probably needs help getting off of that log."  Amazingly, I got only one bite and zero stings.  My bro took about 20 full force stings including 2 inside his mouth.  Yaaay benadryl, we didn't even have to go home because the swelling went right down as soon as the benadryl hit his system.  Good stuff to keep in the picnic basket and in yer camping kit...

Scorpions around here are about as dangerous as bees, except you don't usually find bees stupid enough to sit in the middle of the bathroom floor at midnight right when the wife gets up for a glass of water.  Stupid scorpions, it's almost like they WANT to get stepped on.

scares me thinking about it.. eh!!! getting swarmed by 4 at 7 years old is bad but like 20 makes me get the willy gillys.

I've only been stung twice in my life. Both times Bumble Bees

Really? What were you doing? Pokin' at 'em with your finger?!?

Red wasp to the lower lip a couple of years ago.  I sounded like mushmouth for a couple of hours.  Other than a bee sting when I was a kid that is all.  Been swarmed pretty bad by fire ants though that is a pain that keeps giving.

oh i can feel the love!

anyways...last year i got stung by a bee. no problem, except a week later another bee stung me in the same place as the first. WOW it hurt.

[clerick]

you might be allergic.....you just don't know




hope that wiped the smug grin off....

You can't become allergic until you've been stung at least once so technically he knows he isnt

Why the F are these bastards still out this time of year  


Yellowjackets suck (and hurt)

I would just like to bring it to your attenchian that before i read you post. i had not seen a SINGLE bee. not during the summer, not at all.

Then after i read your topic, i went out to get the mail.

I open the box, and what comes flying out of it? a yellow jacket.


I hold you responsible for the sting i got on my leg.

could have been born with the allergy...wouldn't know it until he got stung.

I'm slightly allergic to yellow jacket venom, thankfully I haven't been stung in years. Unfortunately, the things have wrecked me mentally in the fear department, I freak the hell out whenever I see any sort of stinging bug. Worst part is, hypodermic needles feel the exact same way, I get nervous to the point of throwing up in the waiting room whenever I need to get a shot for something.
