In which I punch a bee IN THE FACE!!!!
So yesterday, as I was walking to the train station, I had to pass several "bee trees"… I guess some people call them "bottle brush" trees. They have these red "flowers" that look like those little bristle brush things you use to clean bottles (primarily baby bottles)…
ANYWAY… they are always FULL of bees and I just duck my head and run under them (because the branches hang low, and I’m pretty short as it is!).
So yesterday as I’m approaching the FINAL bee tree, I see that its SWARMED with those suckers.
I hate bees. I mean, I love their pollination ability and the fact that they make honey… BUT I DON’T WANT THEM TO COME NEAR ME.
I’ve never been stung and it’s like one of my worst fears.
silly but true.
I will scream and run and probably throw a baby to get away from a bee.
Anyway, so I do my normal duck and run… but as I’m doing it I feel something slam into my fist at my side.
WHY IT’S A BEE!
I skipped and jumped and it FOLLOWS ME, proceeds to fly in my face like it’s sayin,
"What’s up lady. Give me all your money! You can’t hit me, the bee, and get away with it"
and in my anxiety and fear I reached back and PUNCHED IT AGAIN!
this time IN THE FAAAAAAACE!!!!
And it sorta spiraled away and then retreated.
Oh believe me, I was ready to punch that bee again.
Oh yeah.
Bring it bees!
I proceeded to jog the rest of the way to the train, and no more bees dared to bother me again.
TAKE THAT BEES!
(if only all of them were that cute, ha ha)
I gotta pee.

You are so fucking bad ass! You really are. Bees should be shitting their little bee pants. 🙂 I love that you’d throw a baby, just don’t throw mine. Throw my exSIL’s.

I keep finding dead bees all over the place up here, and I can only think they are dying because of unusually cool weather we’ve been having. I noticed the same thing last year. “. Bees should be shitting their little bee pants.” that cracked me up.

The bees are going to put up a wanted poster in the hive with your pic on it. Usually I like bees but I wouldn’t want them flying in my face & annoying me either. Don’t mess with wasps they can sting you as many times as they want to.

Aww, poor little bee. I’d totally do the same thing. I ALWAYS get stung and it SUX

lmao-entertaining. When I was in high school and we had gym outside I used to swat bees away with my tennis racquet. Then I’d leave the bodies on the ground to warn the other bees to not come near me. Always worked!

They call me the wasp wisperer at work cause I’m always rescuing them out of the office as opposed to squashing them, bet I get stung one of these days for my troubles!! ryn – true , but I fear that maybe what makes us most intersting would also disappear.

Wow. That should be cartoonised.

RYN: I’m not sure of the name of them. I think one of them is called Frangipani and the other one is called Bird Of Paradise. Oh okay.

Being stun sucks ass. I was stung by a yellow jacket over a month ago on my forearm and it was swollen as hell. Just a little guy did so much damage. Now it just looks like a small pencil jammed into my skin and left a scar. Damn bees! I’d punch every damn bee in its damn mouth! Way to show the bastard who was boss!
