Question about bumblebees?

Posted on April 24, 2013 | 1 Comment

Why do they like to hang around wood? I’ve noticed that because there is this wooden pole by my house and everytime I walk by there’s usually two of them flying around it.

Posted on February 9, 2013 | 4 Comments

We have a very big garden and some of our raspberries are ready to be picked, though we have a huge amount of bumblebees/hornets/wasps flying around by the raspberries and i’ve been stung 3 times , and i’m scared to go pick the raspberries . My question is when is the best time to pick them ?

Thank you :)

I am terrified of bees and wasps?

I am terrified of bees and wasps. The bad part is they are surrounding the stairwells of my apartment complex. I want to know do bumblebees sting? What can I do about the bees and wasps on the stairwell?

Are honey bees the only kind of bee that dies after it stings you?

Posted on November 14, 2012 | 3 Comments

I was reading somewhere there are 20,000 species of bees. I know bumblebees don’t die after they sting you. Do the vast majority of them not die after they sting you?
Good to see you again. I think I still owe you ten points from a while back if noone can top that.

Your take on Goldfish and Bumblebees?

Posted on June 27, 2012 | 3 Comments

This dream was vividly clear, and stayed with me for days.

I walked into my bedroom to find a grey, office type trash can on the floor. it had a clear trash liner in it, and was filled with water and two big, round, bright orange gold fish. One of the fish had his mouth out of the water and was gasping. I added more water and he swam back below the surface, but started to do that slow, sideways float that fish do when they’re nearing the end. Suddenly there were large, gnat-like bugs floating on the surface of the water. I scooped them out and they turned into bumble bees, which tried to eat the goldfish. Then my 6 month old puppy appeared, except he looked like a fiercely independent orange tabby cat I used to have. my cat used to eat large flies for fun, which seems relevant since my puppy ended up eating the fish that was dying, and was having the best time ever doing so.

I have my own theories on the meaning of this dream, but I would like to hear yours.
